    Anything Jessica Morris is in deserves watching!

    The movie and the plot were okay- nothing outstanding. However, Jessica Morris proves her versatility in every movie she's in. She demonstrated a range of emotions in this flick.

    Movie rates a 6- but gets an 8 because of Jessica.

    Would have been a 9 or 10 if she'd have found a reason to do a scene in a bikini!

    It was OK.....

    Jessica Morris portrays Alyssa Manning who was abducted from her family one day in the park by Miles Simon. He is now released back into society Later in the movie, Emma, Alyssa's daughter, is found missing at the same venue of the park. Did Miles do it to get close to Alyssa as an adult or did someone else take Emma and why? You'll have to tune in to find out. But the movie is pretty predictable so I would only watch this once.

    Terrible acting

    After at least 3 "abduction" fakes, when the daughter was actually abducted it was anti climactic and I thought, "oh hey, another dream, or another flash-forward". The mother is so paranoid that she turns her back on the daughter to get a better cell signal? Seriously? The mother leaves the scene of the abduction to go home and meet with the police? Really?

    They picked the most annoying child to play the daughter, annoying voice, and looked nothing like the mother.

    Every dialogue cliche was used... "Let us do our job" "I would never hurt you" "It's your call" Some of these LMN "movies" are getting really lame.
