It is a performances centric movie
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
View MoreThere is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
View MoreI felt awful for this kid Johnny , even the other kid who took him ( Paul) ..I also believed him about this secret network, it exists.. What i don't believe is the mother that Johnny visited her :( I just have this zing in my body that she is lying..I cannot even imagine what they went through and yes I truly believe Johnny can be brainwashed and just wont contact his family, it does happen.. I don't know why I don't believe Noreen, I just don't.. I hope Johnny is living and has some kind of peace.. What a horrible event ..: ( I know Noreen has been to hell and back and she is a hero for all she does, but I just feel like it didn't happen, Johnny's visit. As a mother I would be never letting him go, IDK, maybe it did happen, I just don't believe it..
View MoreA very superficial treatment of the ongoing horror which is systemic, international, high level kidnapping, pedophilia and blackmail used as a tool of political control. This is what happens to congressional freshmen after they move to Washington.If you want to know what this case is really about, see the book "The Franklin Cover-up" by John DeCamp, a Nebraska state senator who was on the Nebraska senate investigative committee, and the documentary "Conspiracy of Silence" produced by Discovery Channel and Yorkshire TV.

View More'Who Took Johnny?' Reveals how cases of missing children were handle 30 years ago. This film shades all its light on the disappearance of Johnny Gosch from Des Monies, Iowa. A 12 year-old paperboy, who disappears without a trace, yet was written off as a runaway. The case of Johnny Gosch is shrouded by the darkest side of humanity as it leads to a hidden world where children are targeted A world dragged into the light by the strength, love, and sacrifice of a mother who never stopped fighting for answers. It should be required for the world to watch. I watch it. My heart is still trembling over how this case was handled.
View MoreWho Took Johnny? is a spooky time. This documentary reaches back to 1982, when Johnny Gosch, a West Des Moines, Iowa paper boy, was abducted. Noreen, his mother, has powered on with the search since then up until now. The film initially follows the inaction on part of the local law enforcement to effectively identify Johnny as a missing person (the law used to require 72 hours for the kid to be gone), and initially wrote his disappearance off as him running away. After a couple years of the community turning up nothing, the imprisoned Paul Bonacci turned up to say that he had helped kidnap Johnny into the horrendous world of child sex trafficking. Because he was diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder, however, law enforcement eschewed this lead and never questioned him, despite the facts he knew about Johnny's body that convinced his parents that this was indeed what happened to their son. The Devil's in the details with this one, as the world of child sex trafficking becomes exposed and entangled in the different facets of the investigation, centered in Omaha, Neb., 10 hours away. Who Took Johnny? has an Unsolved Mysteries vibe to it (creepy, I know), scary as much as it is informative about the issue of missing children. It's definitely worth a watch if you can see it.
