As psychological thrillers go, this low budget effort isn't bad; certainly it doesn't lack for originality. Sarah is a medical professional and harassed single mother. She spends her working day visiting seriously ill patients in their own homes until one day her daughter is snatched. Before she can take meaningful action, she receives a phone call from the kidnapper. Call the police and the girl dies. As Mr X is clearly not a sexual predator, the obvious question is what is his motive, like what could he possibly want with her?The answer is that he is not interested in Sarah but in one of her patients, a mystery man living under a false name. There are strange men watching the house, so is this guy in witness protection? Not quite, he was convicted of killing a young girl who, surprise, surprise, was about the same age as Sarah's daughter. His conviction was quashed on a technicality, so the question is, did he or didn't he? The kidnapper wants revenge, an eye for an eye, but like the man said, that leaves us all blind, and two wrongs...So what happens? Redemption of sorts. Don't expect any thrills with a capital T, but don't believe the bad reviews either.
... View MoreI really wish the premise of this move was a little more believable. Once the mother got involved this movie because so phony and unbelievable. Most of the action was very predictable and horribly planned out. Every time Grace's father went to the phone booth I cringed. Just so horribly unbelievable. Character development was also lacking. So many places this fell flat. The detective that came to the house seemed too forced. There could've been more story development there. This movie started out being intense but ended as a dud. Don't waste your time.
... View MoreThis is truly an emotional movie. The plot is well written and I loved seeing how emotional the bond between mother and daughter is. Kidnappers taking children and make the parent do what they say can be a bad situation especially when you don't get the police informed. This movie shows you that a parent must be brave to get their child back. I see the movie as a success in showing what it takes to do to get a loved one back. I see Sarah do whatever it takes to get her daughter Lauren back from a kidnapper. She follows the kidnappers directions but risks losing her daughter when she is told to get rid of someone else for him. I believe she should have made a different choice and informed the police. The best part is in the end showing how love can be a powerful thing once Sarah is reunited with her daughter Lauren.
... View MoreI swear this movie is designed for emotional people who have very little logical capacity. The plot makes no sense. The point of extortion and kidnapping is to get the victim's family to do something, that the kidnappers themselves cannot do. In this plot, they can do it themselves but just want someone else to do it essentially (which makes no sense).Of course the title suggests "two wrongs... don't make a right"... but that is absolutely silly. Self-defense, war, criminal justice, these are all committing acts against another human to correct a WRONG by doing something that is usually WRONG. So what you do doesn't matter unless it's particularly heinous but WHO you do it to, does matter.Behavior itself is not immoral. Context of the behavior and the perpetrator and victim can make something moral or immoral. If a mom bear kills the wolf threatening its cubs, that mom bear is not immoral.The only person talking sense in this movie, is the man who did the worst crimes possible...and the old mother who's too weak to just do things herself. A perpetrator who's a coward. It's just a bizarre drama for the sake of drama.
