Matt (Mark Harris) is a grease monkey and former boxer who takes a holiday to the states with his family. Not just any place, but the city where children are kidnapped and sold to childless parents without adoption papers and where young girls are also forced into prostitution, especially if they are English tourists.Matt's little girl Lara (nicely played by Honor Kneafsey) is kidnapped in what was a set up from the on set. With his wife beaten into a coma and his daughter missing, police suspect the boxer with an arrest record. With the help of a street wise stranger, Matt goes Charles Bronson all over the bad guys while easily avoiding the cops.One of the nice things I noticed about this film is that the kidnapped British teens were given the same treatment as their kidnapped non-English speaking counterparts. Just makes one proud to be an American.This is another "Death Wish" type of film. It has a some differences, but basically it is a vigilante film. The acting and plot were okay, but then again this type of film doesn't require too much.Parental Guide: f-bomb, rape, nudity (Kelsey Hardwick)

... View MoreI don't know what all the bad remarks are. Loved it. It wasn't the same as all the Hollywood no sense and was raw, true, dark, violent and there was nothing held back. OK, I guess it is very deep..but don't we think this was intentional. I don't see this was a action film but a dark crime drama. It was a very much like " nil by mouth ' film. Yes it turned my stomach in places so I'd imagine women and some men may not like this. It's not dressed up. But I do think it's very realistic. I read about the guy getting drunk when family getting beaten and losing daughter...I can only see that yes he sot the plot his world upside down. We don't all act the same way and let's remember ... It's a movie....so common sense doesn't always prevail as if he handed himself into the police' then game over - no point. ....if you like dark horrific crime film...your like this. If you like dressed up Hollywood you won't. It's no taken.
... View MoreI was recommended to this film from a friend. I finally ordered it and was able to watch it last week. I love finding gems like this. Not influence by huge studios. Started of a little slow but a much needed backstory into the main characters world in England. It is an intense story and good acting. The lead character was engaging and I like the mix of British and American cast. The little girl in the movie was extremely talented and a scene stealer. I started to tear up at the end of the movie. Her performance was awesome. Looking forward to seeing more of her. Overall, I recommend this film to others if you're looking for a good indie action packed film.
