When Zara and Brian's daughter is kidnapped by a sadistic gang of people traffickers led by the vicious Patrick (Mickey Rourke), the pair face a race against time to save her life. With Det.

    PASS IT !

    You wouldn't miss anything if u never watch this movie. Low budget movie and poorly executed.

    An hour 30 minutes of your life you'll never get back

    I like Michael J. & his material arts loaded movies - this one is not! It's littered with scenes that add no value to the overall storyline! It's actually sad that experienced film makers can do this- maybe covid affected them!

    You have a lead who seemingly has amnesia,then is suddenly faking it, clueless cops, an impotent Michael J. Who's decisions & thought process don't make sense.

    The story is just so everywhere, it's like they're showing a movie as the backstory at the same time while suffering from memory loss!

    I hated that I wasted time watching this, even if I was high-it wouldn't have made sense or be exciting.

    I don't want to dismiss or put anyone's effort down, but honestly, they could and should have done better!!

    Why Mickey?

    I cant believe how bad this movie is. I could only watch 15 minutes before I had to turn it off. Why Mickey?

    Generic snooze fest

    It's like nobody even cared about this movie. They have top named actors playing second fiddle to nobodies who can't act to save their lives and they were so lazy on the cover of the movie they litterally just cut the image of MJW's movie Falcon Rising and copy pasted it to this one.

    too generic...

    As a previous reviewer commented base story ok,but overall acting is something you dont find in this "movie". Especially Mickey Rourke is so displaced,he looks really like someone who don care that he should act. Very disappointing. MJ White and Wife are not that bad,but still cant get my head around why they took M. Rourke.....
