*full disclosure: a quote written by this reviewer is featured on the rear box cover of this film (seen left and top, first panel.
Director: John Bonito.
Writers: Michael Compton and Sherry Compton.
Cast: Maria Bello, Stephen Dorff and Joanna Cassidy.
Carjacked is an interesting film to this reviewer mainly because this is the first release to feature a quote from 28Dla on the cover. The quote taken by Anchor Bay Films is a sum up of some of the early promotional material. However, the film itself is very mediocre despite some great acting from Maria Bello and Stephen Dorff. Slow pacing in the early frames and a ridiculous character transformation in the finale sank this film's chances of becoming anything special or believable.
Golden Globe nominee Maria Bello plays Lorraine, a meek single mother of one boy. She attends a woman's support group at night while scrounging for gas money on her own.

The director Peter Medak has had an interesting career. While he's done mostly TV for the past few years, he made a mark early on with the unusual Peter O'Toole film The Ruling Class. Since then he's made a bit of crap here and there, as well as a few other good, or at least interesting movies, like The Changeling, The Krays and Romeo is Bleeding. Now he'll direct Stephen Dorff and Maria Bello in a thriller called Carjacked. The Wrap says that the Michael and Sherry Compton script is about "a single mother (Bello) and her child who are carjacked by a thief (Dorff) who has no intention of letting them go." That's all we've got on this one so far, beyond the fact that Ron Perlman and Giovanni Ribisi had previously been linked to Dorff's role, and that Saffron Burrows would have played the single mom opposite Perlman,...
