The Hook: An everyday woman gets kidnapped from her home, reason unknown. She manages to get a smashed phone to work and randomly calls some kid on his cell phone. Said kid runs around L.A. trying to prevent bad things happening to her kid, husband, etc. Bottom line hook: it all takes place over a matter of hours.

The Score: B-

The Conclusion: Pretty good cinematography, with the appropriate zooms, angles, etc. Standard action-thriller stuff. The kid (whatever his name was) was an impressive actor. Kim Bassinger kind of seemed to be… ah… phoning it in… (no pun intended). She just seemed to be overly whiny and crying all the time… maybe that’s her character, when people get kidnapped… I dunno…

Mixed feelings, overall, but it wasn’t a bad movie. Certainly worth the whopping fifty cents I spent on it… decent writing, with just about any cell phone problem you can conceive of getting stuffed into the script. Not bad, though…
