Boring can most aptly describe this drama of sorts that follows Linda Hamilton as she preaches about why men are bad (her kids are taken from her abusive husband and she "learns" from this).

It's also quite corny, with bad voice-over monologues that are the sort of unnecessary, lazy techniques that Robert McKee preaches about.

Some work and some don't. This doesn't.

Hamilton has admittedly purposely done these made-for-TV movies because she wants to stray away from Hollywood.

She has succeeded - and they suck.

While this movie does move fairly slowly, that is part of its intention. It is all about paying attention to the small details of life. And the tracking of a lost girl is a metaphor for life, how we try to keep on the track of our own lives but we can all too easily lose our way. Linda Hamilton gives an excellent performance in the lead role and it is her acting and narration that holds the whole film together. Kevin Kilner gives a formidable performance as the psychopathic husband. Some reviewers complain about the flashback scenes, claiming they are confusing, but to me they were very clear and they added to the dimensions of Hamilton's character. This is not a classic movie, but it is a superior television movie and it is well worth viewing.

This was a good movie. Linda Hamilton played her part very well, but then she normally does. I liked that she played a part where she showed how very vulnerable she is to people missing, by her own loss of her children. Having someone kidnap your children would be awful, but knowing what the cruelty and abuse they are suffering at the hands of someone they should be able to trust is worse. I am a big fan of Linda Hamilton and have most of the movies she has been in. I am looking for this movie in particular. If anyone has a copy of this movie that they would like to sell or knows where I can purchase a copy please let me know.

Thank you, Pmertz1405

I have seen this film several times on Channel 5 in the UK in the last few years, and have found myself stumbling across it again today. It reminded me just how enjoyable (if you can use that word in this instance) the film is to watch. It's moments focussing on the different agonies of Linda Hamilton's character lead to peaks and troughs in the flow of the movie - making it a roller coaster of a film that isn't your typical.

Sure it has it's weaknesses-it is prone to it's corny moments, but I find that this adds to the enjoyment of this particular film. The voice-overs by Linda Hamilton also have the potential to irritate but I find them quite soothing/calming and they definitely add something to understanding her character. Maybe it is the accent!

I just watched this movie on LMN today at 6 o'clock in the morning. It was a little distracted from the movie but I was able to follow the movie very well. A 9-year-old girl went missing from a campsite. The flashed back were to show viewer what her ex-husband put her there and why she left him. Rachel is tracking the little girl 3 1/2 tennis shoe footprint. Rachel learned her ex-husband was put in jail but the children aren't with him. Coreen made a promise to find Rachel's children. In the I am glad the little 9-year-old girl was found by Rachel. Rachel children's reunited with her after her and Frank return home from the search for the 9-year-old girl. Coreen kept her promise.
