Single mother waitress Halle Berry finally takes her son to the park after a series of improbably awful customers. While she is taking a horrible call from her lawyer about her ex challenging for custody, her son is kidnapped. She sees him being put into a highly distinctive-looking car and gives chase. None of the initial set-up has any relevance to what follows.
My daughter and I are actually watching this as I type. We are stunned at how utterly awful it is, unbelievable from start to finish. When Berry is taking the lawyer's call in the park, she has a call - Marco! - and answerback - Polo! - system with her son, but she has her back to him! Would you simply walk away and never look at your child? Especially after having spent lengthy periods dangerously turning round and looking at him in the back seat while you are driving?
Thankfully Ms Berry spends a lot of the film sitting alone in the car talking to herself telling us what's going on, otherwise we'd never know that she's chasing a car with her son in it (sarcasm mode: off).
This film is in focus, the camera is usually steady, and the sound is well recorded. That's about it as far as good points are concerned. Ms Berry does the best she can with a script/story which is, frankly, one of the worst I have ever encountered for a film of this nature.
Make no mistake, this film is very, very bad.
