Do not read the back of the dvd. Do not watch the trailer. Just watch the movie - that's the best way to experience it. I recommended this one to a friend and he said he gripped his armchair 75% of the movie! It's in my "keepers".

A really good story, a tense thriller done well. Fast moving, some action. Generally well acted. Overall an entertaining movie hence a score of 9. Retained for future viewing.

What makes this movie great is the factor that it keeps you hooked from the very second it starts. No irrelevant details or background. It takes you striaghaway to the story. The story revolves around an American couple and their two daughters who travel to an unnamed Southwest Asian country. The country is facing terrorism by a group of rebels and and nobody's safe especially the foreigners. The movies shows the family's escape from all that chaos while there is "no escape". Overall the movie is good and keeps you on the edge of your seat with a few cliches. Worth watching.

There's not a lot of movies like this out there; very interesting and entertaining. My two problems are that of course both kids are girls because that's what makes it all the more suspenseful. You fear more for girls than for boys. Also, the mom wouldn't take so long to get to the dad's and daughter's rescue at the end when they're on the beach. The absurd amount of time is unrealistic and merely to build up suspense as much as possible. Of course she doesn't come save the day until literally the last possible second and realistically, those two would be done for by then.
