WARNING - SPOILER AHEAD!!!Okay, so this is my first ever summary of a movie. I've seen it recently on Amazon Prime and it wasn't that bad.The film is very well made in terms of acting and cinematography. Certainly not an Acedmy Award Winner, but very solid. The villain is portrayed by Dallas Roberts and i believe him every second of this movie. John Cusack is awesome as always, although his last big hit was a few years ago. The story is intriguing and kept me at the edge of my seat. What bothered me most was the ending - i really liked it, since John Cusack died and was betrayed by his partner Kelsey. But i just knew that Carl had an accomplice besides the big black guy the minute they drove to his home. So for me, Kelsey being Carls girlfriend or wife or whatsoever was no surprise at all.Abby finding out about Kelsey being a bad guy was also unnecessary in my opinion. The end would have even been better, if she hadn't find out.So in the end, the movie "The Factory" is a very solid 6/10.

Well, well... I watched this movie, because of John Cusack and also Jennifer Carpenter (I was really curious to see her in a role other than Dexter), and she played almost the same role as Debbie, minus all the cursing... anyways... the movie could've been so much better if they did not think that the audience was stupid. Seriously, I figured out "who did it" as soon they left the diner and she gets on the phone and says: "where are you?", really writers???? This KILLED the surprise, after that I knew already about everything, so the ending was BLAH.... they did not even tried to hide, it was just throwing on our face. And the very last ending, was ridiculous... soooo.... evil person WINS and everybody else LOOSES. Pathetic!!!!

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?

From the very start, reading the description here on IMDb, I thought I had this movie figured out. Typical "cop makes it personal" story because the criminal involves his family. Well, maybe that describes this movie, but doesn't define it. There are several twists in the plot that I couldn't guess (and I am fairly good at that) and I couldn't have come up with the ending at all. I found John Cusack's performance very real, but just adequate. I have seen him do better filling in and rounding out a character. I hadn't seen any of the other actors so they were unknown to me. There are a few parts of the story and background that might require a bit more of a suspension of disbelief than some viewers can give, but if you can get through the rough parts in the script, you will be rewarded at the end. Overall, a very well paced, well edited, well directed film that should have received more attention than it did. A good pick for "movie night".
