    Scary and unpleasant - Ben Savage is light years from "Boy Meets World"

    Ben Savage gave a very good performance as Nate Kibby, the kidnapper. Again, it is hard to believe he was the the sitcom "Boy Meets World'

    The other actors were good as well, especially Lindsay Navarro who played Abby, and. Erica Durance who played Zenya.

    While watching this I couldn't believe what I was seeing, yet it actually happened (another movie this reminded me of is "The girl in the Basement").

    This was a good watch, yet painful.

    8/10.

    Part of the truth

    A mild movie that may not be true to the core and Abby's ordeal, but is nevertheless well-acted with gripping moments.

    It flows well, is emotional enough, has some weak filler moments, doesn't depict the whole truth, obviously viewers are mad about it as to the real ordeal that Abby went through and I understand them.

    Somehow and for some reasons it is depicted as such and that's the fault of everybody involved in the movie besides the cast. Foremost the studio that led the writers.

    Didn't show what the victim actually went through

    I had high hopes for this movie. I really thought it would portray what the actual victim went through. The movie really did Abby a disservice. The movie doesn't show any sexual assault. No we don't need to see this in detail but they didn't even hint at it. There was one scene where she got shocked but other than that it the movie makes it like she was just abducted and friends with her abductor. We know she acted like his friend to plan her escape but the movie massively fails on what the victim actually went through. I would rather just have watched a documentary about it. This film was pointless to watch and kind of boring.

    Horrible acting by Ben Savage

    This movie does not seem like an abduction movie at all it seems like a friendship everyone in the movie besides the girl who plays Abby cannot act for s*** it's the worst lifetime movie I've ever seen in my life poorly put together not worth the watch about to turn it off right now and I'm only 20 minutes into it. The real Abby Hernandez who went through this horrible ordeal should have been given a better movie than this. The movie tries to be suspenseful but it's not and I'm almost falling asleep watching this movie worst worst worst movie ever been Savage what happened to you you can't act for s***

    I lived here and this movie sucks

    I went to high school with Abby and was shocked by how inaccurate this entire movie was. I feel like the just took the general idea and made a entire different story for the movie. Absolutely horrible movie. I don't think the producers or writers have ever stepped foot in Conway as the entire look of the movie is off as well. Nate also had neighbors and people nearby which wasn't clear in this movie at all. I can tell Abby had nothing to do with this movie as it's completely off. Hopefully she got some money for it otherwise what was even the point of this horrible movie. Also cute how big they seemed to think the town is.
