Ever get the feeling you shouldn't believe too many of the ratings posted here because they're probably associated/invested with/in the film, itself... well...that seems to be the case with this movie...it's a shame, too...because how many movies do we see here coming out of South Africa...it would be great if EVERY country could afford to tell their stories with the wealth behind them that Hollywood has...not that it makes ALL that much of a difference in the quality...lots of GREAT low budget movies out there. From EVERYwhere... anyways...this has been a public service announcement...including to the administrators of imdb who can't do much about false reviews...

This movie is just a front for you can ONLY guess what,..You KNOW it isn't an Israeli gal who is being tossed around by the indiginous of South Africa,..It's an English gal of course and of course her father is an evil person and yadda yadda yadda,. The story is only a front,. That's why you don;t see any LOW rating because even dumb people KNOW why this movie was made.

There's not much to say really as it just goes through the motions and fails to keep anything interesting. None of the characters are likeable and it's a film you'll forget overnight.

Not sure how anyone can say this is an amazing film. At the same time it is not without some redeeming qualities. But really there is nothing special about it and a lot that holds it back from being legitimately good. I'm only compelled to write about it because it seems like so far it is just people giving it 8-10 or 1-2, and it's absolutely neither of those.

The acting is mostly decent here. There are some performances that are better than others, but the acting is one of the thing that does stand out as being one of the better aspects of the film.

The soundtrack is another one that is pretty good. It is interesting and varied, and usually does a good job of enhancing the action. At times it actually feels like the direction and editing are not up to the challenge of matching the tension created with the music.

Unfortunately a lot of the other aspects are somewhat amateurish. The plot is potentially interesting but it is all just too quickly executed, and it doesn't seem like a lot of it was very well thought out. There are a few interesting characters but we never spend very much time with any of them and so we don't form enough of an attachment with them for whatever ends up happening to them to feel meaningful. The events of the film are meant to be tragic, but the tragedy is undermined by the fact that we probably don't really care much about these people.

It's rare that I think a movie should have been longer than it was, but I think that's the case here. If we had more time to develop the tension in the film I think it would have been more effective.

Please, if you have self respect, do yourself a favour and watch something else.

I did the job for you guys. Please don't do it to yourselves.

This movie is a bad, really really bad copy of Taken. The acting was awful and the script didn't have any cohesion at all. For real in some parts I thought I was watching two movies at the same time.
