Never Let Go

Like watching a 50 year old lady with a navel ring use karate and get exhausted often while in pursuit? This IS your movie! Could had been an amazing movie, but hey! At least they tried! Over acting. I mean, she sat down to slide 3 ft down a rock and then stood back up to run. Why?

The acting isn't fabulous, but it's not terrible either. The story line is good, but maybe not put together as well as it could be. The second scene is pretty nebulous. Then, seriously, what mother takes a newborn on vacation into the middle east. Some of the connections are really big jumps. But the action is good and watching a vulnerable, but strong female character kick ass is always fun. There are secondary female characters who kick ass in their own way. In the end it all comes together for a satisfying thrill ride and what's not to love about that.

If you are ready to send your mind on a holiday and then watch this movie, you will find it quite a gripping tale. It is set in an Arabic ghetto, where an infant gets kidnapped by an international baby trafficking mafia. How the mother persists against severe odds to recover her child is an edge of the seat, thrill a minute action packed adventure. Acting, direction, editing and photography are excellent. On the flip side, some gaping holes in the story 1) choice of vacation spot and choice of hotel 2) a senior us politician can raise campaign funds from within us criminals rather than depend on Middle Eastern criminals.

A new mother that obviously has some medical issues, goes on holiday alone to a Muslim country. It looks like a cheap holiday, based on the taxi used. The troubles start from there... Who does that?!!!!

The plot has holes the size of the ones in the ozone layer!

I only watched it because the chase was mildly entertaining and wanted to see how more messy the plot would get.

The acting is not great, direction is ok, but hard to work with this story line! The only really bad movie I watched to the end. Straight to video trash - in this case, dumped on Netflix, who are not doing themselves a favour, having crap like this on their list.

A woman (the mistress of a married American politician who has had his baby) needs some vacation time while he's campaigning and figuring out how to tell his wife. She chooses a very restful place for her vacation: Morocco, where there are apparently kidnapers on every street corner. Her baby is stolen while she's on the beach, and she suddenly turns into Wonder Woman, leaping off of buildings, eluding the cops, and knocking our 4-5 armed people at a time with martial arts moves. Turns out she's some kind of U.S. special ops agent. If it sounds to you like a lame female version of "Taken", you would be right. If it sounds ridiculous to you, you would also be right. If it sounds to you like it might suck......You're right again! Now, you don't have to waste your time watching it! Two stars because the writers threw in some twists and turns, but they're not enough to salvage this mess.
