I thought this was a fairly entertaining LMN movie that had you guessing what was going on with the kidnapping all through the movie. I really did not know who it was until about 20 or so minutes before the end.
Things to keep in mind:
1. Never accept a free trip to a luxurious resort that have villas.
2. If someone is too friendly, beware.
3. Try to check your family background if you can - you don't know what will come up!
4. Don't put your child in any daycare.
Have a couple of drinks and enjoy the movie.

Was like a bad episode of home and away. Terrible acting, barely thrilling and a dull predictable twist.
I probably should have given 1 star but I guess there may be some way to make this movie even worse.

A waste of Clair Van de Boom who is actually a really good actress. The acting from everyone else was atrocious- especially the cops and the dodgy day care centre worker guy. Makes Home and Away look like Shakespeare.
I created an account for the sole purpose of leaving a review to warn others to save their time. Just pour hot chili in your eyes and ears instead. It will be a thoroughly more enjoyable experience.

Whoever gave this a high enough rating for it to get an overall of 6.4 needs to give their head a wobble.
The storyline was ridiculous & the acting was appalling. I actually feel embarrassed that I watched it through to the end.

Plot was terrible and the acting was atrocious can't believe Netflix actually took this on.
This movie has secured a spot on the top 10 worst films. Wouldn't recommend it even to my worst enemy!

The acting was award winning, I can't believe I had not heard of this movie. Shot in paradise the scenery was as beautiful as the twist and turns the plot delivered I really hope they make a part 2.

This is like a really bad episode of Home and Away mixed with Play School. Obviously pandering to the US by using Australian actors pretending to be American. Todd Lasance drops in and out of accent with aplomb. The kid is irritatingly American and the acting is atrocious. Clare van der Boom is actually a descent actor, so she must be desperate for a role to take on this rubbish. The scenery is nice but that's about it.
Wow!!!! 4 people walked out with 15min of it starting, there were so many holes in the story that everyone in the cinema were getting frustrated and muttering under their breath!
The best actor's in the movie were the Aussie wild life, oh and maybe the 5 year old kid!!!
Never watch this movie!!

Everything about it is atrocious. The cliches come thick and fast. The acting is below average, the script is horrendous and the plot is as gripping as watching paint dry. I honestly can't believe this movie made it to Netflix. What happened!????

Not the standard of movie we are used to from Australia.
The story line was not the worst but the acting was worse than home and away!
Save yourself 1.5 hrs of your life and give it a miss!

First 10 mins on Netflix and I'm clicking 'Back'! Guys, what a waste of everyone's time, bad acting, cliche's all around, the girl behind the counter that's too friendly, awkward dialogue, I can go on but I'll stop wasting my time here...

Acting atrocious, script deplorable and the plot well my Nan couldn't knit that back together with so many holes! Just spend 90 minutes watching you tv turned off more entertaining !

Actually after reading all the bad reviews I decided to watch this film and did enjoy it so don't let the bad reviews put you off, Ok the acting of some of the cast was a bit to be desired but I thought the police played a good part of being country cops and when you live in the country life is a lot slower, the little girl shouldn't be criticised for her acting after all she is only about 5 years old and probably the first film she has ever acted in so give her time! The ending was a bit feeble and maybe could have been done a bit differently but all in all it was an ok film and I enjoyed it.
With so many excellent movies & series in this genre why do Aussie film makers bother if they can't at least match the caliber of those successful film makers that have gone before.
This gives Aussie film a bad name. Shockingly poor on all levels - script, acting (especially the cops... unbelievably bad!), direction. Everything.
Honestly, don't waste 90mins of your life. I wish I hadn't.
Zero intrigue. The first and most obvious theory is the correct one. Half-assed attempts at red herrings are laughable. The final reveal is about as surprising and entertaining as the rest of the 'stuff as a board' performances.
Not sure why they bothered pretending to be American when their thick Aussie accents were largely unchanged.
The only surprising thing about this film was that any of the actors were willing to put their names to it.

No need to even go into details, I haven't finished watching, 16 minutes left, I figured out who did it literally from the moment the kid disappeared, my guess is revenge (maybe some daughter given up for adoption or somehow neglected by other means?) Who cares really, after all, this is a really bad movie with really bad acting (this is saying a lot for me, I generally really like even cheap TV suspense movies), well, I guess I'll suffer through the last 16 minutes, don't bother even starting this rubbish, is my advise.

Not the right kind of bad to be funny bad - just all the wrong kinds of bad. As one other review wrote - awful, awful, awful. Who on earth thought anything about this was a good idea? It may be a plot by a rival tourist destination to make Australia look like a limp, inept, stupid, cheesy backwater. In that case - success! I really take issue with the IMDB classification that this is "Drama/Thriller". It is neither. So bad.

This is the kind of movie where you have the opportunity to appreciate just how important a good script, director, cinematographer, set desginer, vocal coach, casting director, sound editor, editor is. This is so bad. It's like they filmed a scene a day and then tried to splice it all together. The long pauses,the really bad music, the dreadful script and acting. The only good way to see this movie is as a student of film making. This would be the class you go to about how NOT to make a movie. Awful, awful, awful.

Terrible acting by all involved (except for Mr Pickles who is a class above the rest), and a ridiculously transparent plot that will leave you waiting for the twists that you figured out half an hour or so earlier.
Jessica Fletcher and Scooby Doo wouldn't have been out of place here with the heavy-handed clues and attempts at misdirection that wouldn't fool anyone.
The only thing that could have improved this masterpiece would have been if after all they hammy dramatic acting Mr Pickles came to life to thwart the villain. 🤣 Highly recommended!

I don't even know where to start. Absolutely horrible. Definitely a waste of a 90 minutes on a Saturday night. Shame on Netflix for allowing this on their service. Also @ anthony_viney are you on crack?
