Strong and Moving!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The movie started off strong with a great premise, great characters, and a great story. It was all extremely tense and clever. The character was also extremly sympathetic and well developed. It was actually one of the best thrillers I've ever seen and with such a high concept idea. But the third act- it was awful. I have no idea what the writers were thinking. It went from a perfectly good thriller to a cliche gore fest. The third act completely made no sense, erased all previous characters and their development, and dragged on for way too long. The longer it went on the more I hated the entire story arc. Seriously, it gets more ridiculous and ridiculous by the second- as id it was written by two different people. The final line in the movie is so cringey and awful as well. I would have preferred just "the Hive" setting for the entire film. What a disappointment.

I didn't think I would like this movie, and just caught my eye(and cause I like Halle Berry's other works) so i thought why not give a chance. The movie proved itself to be actually really interesting, well put together anticipating thriller. It's not the typical kidnapper film, and i found myself on the edge of my seat, rooting for Jordan to catch the killer. The moment where she talks with Casey on the phone was very well put together, and maybe my favorite scenes of the film.However, the killer wasn't most well written and found it quite cliché, even though I'd love to know more about his motivation. Like when did he start killing the girls, was it when his sister died? what happened to her sister, and if she died of cancer like we were let to believe why did he have to start killing other girls? did he just go crazy? I mean maybe he was just crazy, but i thought it was weird his wife had NO clue of his killer personality and that he had killed dozen of girls.Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. It made me root for Jordan to find the killer, even the ending was somewhat predictable, but glad it had a happy ending. I wish we'd seen Jordan taking Casey to cinema like she promised though!

The previews for this movie did not make it seem like it was going to be as good as it turned out to be. It was interesting to see how this story would play out considering the trailers made it seem like the entire movie takes place in the trunk of a car.From the moment the movie started, it instantly jumped into the suspenseful story. It starts by showing the police operator's work as it was taking the first victim's call. It was a horrific scene and outcome, but it set the standard for the rest of the movie. It introduced the predator Michael Foster, played by Michael Eklund. Michael Foster had a sick obsession with kidnapping and killing blonde haired teen girls. He was calculated and disturbing. But he was also a bit careless. After he had kidnapped Casey Welson, played by Abigail Breslin, he simply threw her into the trunk of his stolen vehicle and then he did not notice all the commotion she was causing while trapped in the trunk. What boggled me the most was the fact that she was on the phone with the police for over an hour, and it was not heard at all. She was talking to the police operator Jordan Turner, played by Halle Berry; it was not the usual side of police that one expects to see in a movie. The whole time, Jordan Turner was trying to help Casey Welson escape captivity. It was a frantic situation for both.The ending was great. I do not want to ruin it by saying what happened, but I will say it was a case of poetic justice for the predator.

Great thrilling story. Halle Berry performed really strong here. It was all pretty realistic up until the end. A traumatised 911 operator, that has to deal with the same killer she got that trauma from, (caused by herself). Also that first incident actually was realistic, i don't get the critics, you could clearly hear the call coming from the bedroom. And besides, not everything can be perfect, and thios could very well be realistic. After that the only criticism I hve, is when Halle Berry goes unarmed after the killer without letting anybody know. Then she goes on to take revenge, that was understandable, but not really realistic. But hey no movie is perfect. This one was really good overall though.
