The Dover family is a
neighbor of the Birch family. The
Dover’s go over to be with the Birch family for a holiday feast. Everyone is eating, relaxing and having
an enjoyable time until they discover the two youngest girls are
missing. Anna and Joy are both six
years old. The police are called
but as the time passes, panic begins to set in. The only clue about their disappearance is there had been an
old RV parked on their street. Alex Jones is the driver and he his brought in
for questioning but there isn’t any evidence in the RV. Keller Dover decides to take matters
into his own hands, the police are not doing enough and they are not working
fast enough. He’s going to get
information out of Alex Jones.
This film is overlong
and would benefit from tighter editing.
There are so many distracting incidents brought into the mix that you
sometimes don’t know what is going on?
Jackman wears the same face throughout and Maria Bello has been in a lot
of films requiring intense weeping and emotional weariness. 3* (This movie is OK)
153
