This objectively was a crash and burn movie, but I couldn't resist finishing since it was so illogical and unnatural. None of the actors have a chance here with this convoluted script. Also, the music and sound effects tend to overpower any of the dialogue.
The father character is especially wooden and over the top- I couldn't help but laugh at his angry moments and poor decision making (he eventually becomes the executive director at his company, in an ironic twist of fate).
There was an abundance of errors but the one detail that stood out is the 22 year old Nate's car. This creep drove to the main character's home, and yet neither the mom or dad had the wits about them to get the license plate or call in a description of the car to the detective. And he later kidnapped the daughter in broad daylight while the mom huffed and puffed trying to chase him, and yet when she got to Nate's home, I guess she didn't see his car parked outside the mansion. That might have given her a good clue to not enter the home. What is it with characters going to the suspect's house without any police backup?
So yeah this was a train wreck of a movie to kill time on a Saturday night, but at least I got some laughs out of it. Moral of the story: don't give your teenage daughter unrestricted use of a smart phone.
