If you ever want to watch a movie that starts out good and goes completely off the rails at the end, this is the movie for you.
It's about a 911 operator who tries to save a kidnapped girl. The first hour is actually a well written and acted suspense that's fairly intelligent. Then the last 20 minutes or so it's like a different screenwriter took over and just ruined the ending.
Completely stupid, illogical actions by the main character will have you slapping your head saying WHY?
How the director and producers didn't see this needed a basic rewrite is beyond me.

I saw half of it. The 911 operators acted like they worked at the CIA What a waste of time.

I remember when she was on the night talk shows promoting the movie, I thought it would be really good. But I never bothered to see it. Now I want to see it more than ever, lol.

Wow I thought it was pretty good . I think some of you over analyze a movie . If you cant go to a movie and just watch it and not act like a critic what is the point of going to a movie ? take a movie for what it is, a movie .

You didn't see that in the movie trailer?? I did. The premise is ridiculous..... I didn't bother.

I gave up on Halle Berry a long time ago. She has such god awful movies after she stopped making films for Black audiences. Her best roll ever was in Jungle Fever....but Samuel L. Jackson carried her through her crackhead addicted character.

I'm not surprised that this one is another failure.

She should stick to cosmetic commercials. She was in that other bomb, Cloud Atlas last year as well.
