Let's start with the good points; the premise is fine, and the initial scenes are well done. Halle Berry delivers a solid performance throughout, which essentially saves the movie.
However, the writing is terrible. Frustratingly, infuriatingly lazy writing.
The movie contains so many situations where you find yourself shouting at the screen "What??? Why didn't you...(insert sensible course of action)". The answer is, of course, that if her character did that, the movie would be over in the next 5 minutes.
My particular favourite was her inexplicably abandoning the shotgun while in the kidnappers house.
There is some entertainment to be had here, but you may come away just feeling annoyed at the sheer stupidity on display.
