I like how the plot pushes its audience to assess and try to calculate what's really going on, who's involved, how far it'll go, and how it will end. It is far from being top-notch, but at least has the basic ingredients of a light suspense thriller film. Not bad.

If the woman had just started jogging directly, she would have arrived at the gathering point in about 45 minutes. Typical Americans. They portray 8 kilometers as an insurmountable distance on foot. Instead, she stops every 3 meters and unnecessarily makes phone calls. If she had run, she could have covered the distance in 30 minutes. You can't get information faster by phone. Just stupid. It ruins the movie for me.

Mix a woman running through the forest, on her phone the entire time, and poor script..you get this movie. Gave it a 5 to be generous. And of course had to make it political at the end. I regret watching this honestly but oh well. I haven’t looked at the budget for this film but it had to be low.

:heart:x7 This is essentially a one-woman show. A minute-by-minute hostage situation from the POV of a parent on the outside. Defintely worth a watch. How I rate: 1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time 4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this 7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too 9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

I was hoping that it would be another great movie playing Naomi Watts as I love most movies she's in, but sadly this one isn't one of them. This movie was super boring. It's basically Naomi Watts walking and talking on phone whole time. I couldn't endure it and just stopped watching it after 30 minu More

Just the other day I was appalled at how the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre invokes a real-life tragedy such as a high school shooting to justify its brand of gratuitous violence. On the other side of the spectrum is a film like The Desperate Hour – a reminder that the most powerful stories about suc More
