The only positive thing I can say about this movie is that Ryan Reynolds and Rosario Dawson are in it. I was so confused for the first thirty minutes I had no idea what was going on. The timeline was so disconnected and the things the kidnapper did made no real sense. And why does the female kidnapper look exactly like the wife? At least dye her hair brown or something.

A drawn out story with a rushed ending with implausible, but somehow boring twists. The movie time jumps for seemingly no reason making the scenes unnecessarily confusing. The characters are where I took the biggest issue, between characters that are unnecessary to the movie (the figure skating boy, woman partner in crime, anyone related to the kidnappers never revealed, but somehow expected of us to know) and some of the MOST cardboard acting I have ever seen from the kidnapped girl. It's a wonder I sat through this movie. It's a wonder this movie got the green light.

Had potential but disjointed, poorly directed, with a rushed ending. Actors are fine; writer and director lost focus and pacing. As an aside, I despised the way Ryan Reynolds' character was treated by wife and detective; made zero sense.

So much potential on a great premise and great film with at least a partial message and they screw it up! Firstly, they should have made the location more anonymous so the subject is more universal. Second, why convolute the dialog with gibberish? Thirdly, far greater impact could have been achieved with sane appearing antagonists. Fourthly, would a spouse blame a partner to the end about him/her leaving a 9+ year old child alone for 2 minutes at a vacant location when he/she would have done the same? Next, why weren't the police called to the scene to check for forensics? Lastly, plot goes crazy after we've already lost reality in the plot. Painful to finish.
