Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
leonblackwood Review: I quite enjoyed this deep drama/thriller about a cop whose investigating the disappearance of girls. When his daughter goes missing, the movie gets really intense because he realises that all of the clues are leading to the same direction of the other missing girls. I prefer my thrillers where you don't know who the bad guy is, but right from the beginning of this film you know who dunnit. Apart from that, the movie has enough material to keep you interested throughout and the ending was brilliant. There are a few sketchy bits in the storyline, but it definitely a watchable movie with some great performances, especially from John Cusack. Watchable!Round-Up: I'm surprised that this movie didn't get a bigger distribution job from the studio because the budget is quite large for a straight to DVD film. The director obviously made the movie with a sequel in mind because it was left wide open. I don't know if it will be as good without the major star, but if the director pieces it together properly, it has the makings of a great movie. I can't see were the budget went in this film but thats not to say that it's bad. It just seemed really basic with a small cast and no major stunts. Anyway, I know that a lot of people wouldn't have heard of this film so I hope that people will watch it after reading my review so I can heard other people's opinions.Budget: $30million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into their deep drama/thrillers about cop whose investigating the disappearance of hookers, only to find out that his daughter has gone missing. 5/10
blaynebittner I've read better serial killer novels and seen better movies than this. I am, however, a Jennifer Carpenter and John Cusack fan. That being said, I was surprised to see Mae Whitman in the movie. She has improved in acting since the show Weeds. Jennifer Carpenter seemed to play a role she was already comfortable with. John Cusack acted well as almost always.Dallas Roberts was great in his role, which surprised me. I hope to see more of Mae Whitman and Dallas Roberts in the future. The movie is worth seeing just because of the unexpected quality of acting of those two. If you aren't a big John Cusack fan, you probably won't enjoy it anyway.The film has a lot less plot holes than people say it does, but still has a fair number of them. Some of the plot holes that people think they noticed in previous reviews were explained with foreshadowing. Paying attention to foreshadowing in this movie made me predict almost everything in the entire movie.The movie is quite gory, but not nearly as gross as movies like hostile nor Saw, which I turned off. This movie, I rate a 6. Why do I rate it a six out of ten? I would have preferred them to replace some scenes with plot development. They also could have shortened the movie with getting rid of some completely unnecessary and dull scenes.I was a bit disappointed in Jennifer Carpenter's performance because I want to see her get into a role she hasn't done before. I think she could do a lot better than this, and her typecast is holding her back.Despite most of the movie being predictable with obvious foreshadowing, there were a few things I didn't expect to happen. I won't ruin the movie by telling you what they were. However, its worth a watch if you enjoy serial killer movies/novels.People saying its torture porn aren't completely incorrect. There were a couple scenes that went too far in my opinion, but it wasn't nearly as gross as I suspected based on reviews.The movie is somewhat forgettable, but worth watching once when in the mood for a half decent serial killer movie. The movie had a lot more potential in theory, but lacked in application. Its not terrible, but its not great neither.
adi_2002 A psychopath who has a habit of killing prostitutes is back after a break of several years in order to return and kidnapping womens. After a prostitute goes missing, Detective Mike Fletcher with his partner Kelsey Walker get this case to investigate. Mike has a 17 year old daughter witch does not behave very nicely with her family, she wants all the time not to be treated as a little girl and ask for more freedom. She sneaks out of the house one night and she goes to meet with her boyfriend but even he does not understand her so she walks away but is approached by a stranger and taken to the " factory " of which are still two girls. Mike is now forced to forget all he has to do at work and focus on finding his daughter as soon as possible before it is too late. Aided by Kelsey and using the involvement by Darryl an assistant who works at the hospital and that has a link with the killer, giving him the medications he needs to fulfill his plans he will begin a race against time but his feeling and the love for Abby will make him give up or will be able to bring his daughter back home?After a promising start the film begins to lose its action gradually becomes dull with stupid long and unnecessary scenes, towards the end has a twist but will only wake us up a little bit from our sleep after we nearly dozed off.And what up with that painful song from the ending credits? This movie had to be silly till the very end or what?
nicats69 This movie was the worst movie I have seen in a long time. It was all good up until the end. Sitting on the edge of your seat kind of thriller. Just when you think they have it figured out there is a twist at every turn. That last turn just dove off the cliff. A total crash and burn. Just don't watch it it will disappoint. A review needs 10 lines of text? Really how much can you say about a movie that just ends horrible! Pretty in Pink is a much better choice if you are looking for John Cusack movies. If you into the bottom of the pit movies and trying to top your last worst movie then take a dive into this but otherwise just pass it up.Wish I had read the reviews before sitting thru that.
