Sorry, this movie sucks

A different way of telling a story

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Moira Kelly,the star of the 90's movies such as "The Cutting Edge","Chaplin" and "With Honors",stars in this child abduction TV movie entitled "Taken Back: Finding Haley".Amanda Tapping,David Cubitt and Kacey Rohl co-star in a movie that was directed by Mark Jean.Karen Turner was spending happy moment with her three-year-old daughter Haley in a carousel.Things were going well until the moment when Haley got abducted.This led Karen into a lot of emotional pain and sorrow that led her to be divorced by her husband Tim.More than a decade later,Karen remains in search for her daughter.Being a good photographer,she does take school memoirs photos to locate her daughter.One day,she thinks that one student happens to her missing daughter using maternal instinct while taking photos of Emma Roberts.Feeling that Emma is indeed her missing daughter,she tries to do some actions - both legal and illegal - to recover her.It was fantastic to see Moira Kelly give a great performance as Karen.Viewers will definitely cheer for her character to find her daughter again and feel for the pain and suffering that she has been experiencing since Haley got lost.Added to that,the twist of the screenplay provides the viewers the pain that a mothers has to go through once their child is lost either through death or abduction.Overall,this TV movie became above average because it was able to showcase that in addition to Moira's great performance.

I stayed up extra late just to catch the second viewing of this movie . It didn't disappoint on most levels . I just have a few factual questions .For example the couple who lost their daughter in a drowning accident in the tub . If it were truly an accident and no harm was meant . Why didn't they at least try to get their little angel help . Even if it were to late they could have tried .The police would have figured out that it was an accident .But No the husband/father sticks his head in the sand and allows his wife to steal a little girl who does not belong to them . Instead of doing the right thing right away he continued to turn a blind eye .Second question is for the biological mother to Haley ...Why would she "kidnap" her own daughter , if she honestly thought this was Haley she could have found this out by the finger prints or a DNA test. Of course she would have spooked the kidnappers out and they would have wanted to run but she could have done things a better way .Other than that it could have had a better ending the Haley walking out with her "Mother" and then as the Police have her in the car , just walking by her . I would have wanted to say so much to her if I were Haley !!!!

Excellent film dealing with the kidnapping of a 3 year old girl who was riding a merry-go-round. To put it mildly, her mother never adjusted to what occurred and would lead to a merry-go-round type of life until fate intervened.Her husband left her and the woman is a natural mess who refuses to believe that the case is over.As a school photographer, fate intervenes and she finds a girl who looked so much like her daughter(this is 12 years later) and the girl has an overly protective mother. I wonder why?The plot has an unusual twist when the girl is "kidnapped" back by her real mother. That's when the mayhem starts and the whole thing is just mesmerizing.

This is a stellar movie, and I do not understand the low rating at all. My mother and I loved it! The movie is about a girl named Hayle was kidnapped at three years old from a merry-go-round. Karen spends twelve years searching for her daughter, the father gives up after two years because he has a life to live.Karen eventually finds Hayley-Emma at a high school where she is taking photos for the high school yearbook.I don't want to give the whole thing away because this is such a powerful movie. I rooted for Karen the whole way and I cried with her. How could those people who took Hayley put a mother through that kind of grief after what they suffered?
