My girlfriend at the time put this film on and I agreed to it because I like not only Amanda Seyfried but Jennifer Carpenter from her time on Dexter. This movie is entertaining at times, but boring at others. There are really no surprises in this film, you can tell what's going to happen before it happens for the most part and just feels like lazy writing. Nothing against Seyfried in this film, she really tries to sell it, but I'm sure it isn't a film she holds at high regard. It also feels very teen; as in it's a film I'm sure teens enjoy. I gave it a 5 because it wasn't the worst thing I've seen, but I definitely wouldn't watch it again.

The film didn't last in the theater because it not interesting enough it mediocre, It should've been made-for-TV movie. Amanda Seyfried can't act and the characters (Wes Bentley, Jennifer Carpenter, and Sebastian Stan's roles) are undevelopment. Like what's the point of them. I thought Wes Bentley was the serial killer/kidnapper because his character was the only one that has sympathy for Seyfried's character but he was red herring and not develop very well. The situation is unrealistic they portrayed the police as useless because they skeptical of her story of being kidnap by the killer. She's the only one of his victim to escape and now her sister's kidnap and will be murder within hour. They think she's crazy and of course later on the film (it fall under "Oh she not all that crazy she was telling the truth all that time".) Like No Way!!! In the entire movie she did her own investigation and carried a gun. Everyone is suspect and run from the police like a fugitive. The point is the film could've been better.

***SPOILERS**** it's when her kid sister Molly Conway, Emily Wickersham, doesn't show up for a test she's to take at her collage Jill, Amanda Seyfried, feels that she's been kidnapped by the person who kidnapped her two years ago and held her hostage in a pit at the spacious, where no one can find her,Forest Park until she somehow escaped. Looking like twins Jill a former mental patient feels the kidnapper had mistaken her sister Molly for her in him trying to finish the job, killing Jill, that he at first started. And Jill is now determined to not only have the local Portland police rescue Molly but catch her kidnapper before he does any more kidnapping and murdering young girls in the area.As you would expect no one believes Jill in that she's been diagnosed as being mentally unstable and suffering from hallucinations but that makes her even more determined to go on her own-Gun in hand- to find her sister before , like many of her kidnapper's victims, she ends up dead & buried. The rest of the movie has the slight and barley 100 pound Jill doing a both Charles Bronson's "Death Wish" and Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry" bit taking on all commers, good & bad, in order to find and save her sister Molly. Whom the local police headed by Let. Ray "Boze" Bozeman, Michael Pare, feel that she just eloped with her boyfriend and that's all there is to it.***SPOILERS*** Unbelievable and off the wall final with the kidnapper Jim LaPointe known on the streets as "Digger Phelps", Socratis Otto, in an effort to trick Jill into getting trapped, in the ditch that he held her hostage two years ago, ending up falling and breaking his back where Jill, now in control of the situation, ending up doing the guy in by drenching him with a can of kerosene , that the jerk in fact provided for her, and setting him on fire! As for Molly she seemed to have been in no danger at all as she showed up unhurt moments before the movie ended! After what seemed like suffering from a slight case of amnesia and losing her way when going to take her collage exam.

This well-directed if thinly scripted thriller has more-than-adequate supporting performances by a good cast, but almost all are given little to do beyond providing the backdrop for Amanda Seyfried's Jill. And Jill has us in her corner from start-to-finish as she tries to overcome her branded-as-delusional history to race against time to save her sister's life. The police and her psychiatrist do everything possible to undermine her efforts.Now don't over-analyze the plot or view this in context of what would happen in the real world. It won't hold up if you do but such scrutiny would be missing the fun. This is not a docudrama.There are plenty of thrillers with driven protagonists bit Seyfried's remarkable and multi-layered performance puts this one two notched above most. Score is perfect for the movie, understated but drive. I give this an 8/10. Be seated with your popcorn and go to the bathroom before you sit down and watch, turning your cell phone off. You won't want to be interrupted during this one.
