Despite it's downfalls, I would give this a chance.

Overall the plot was quite interesting with numerous twists thrown into keep you attentive. The characters were well portrayed and theacting was where it needed to be. Though there were a few scenes whereemotions came across as forced (this could be my harsh critical viewover-bearing). The storyline was well paced and I didn't feel bored atany point apart from a few noticeable errors in the continuity whichput me off slightly. The small discrepancies in the storyline that,been explained or left out, would have made the film at least a 7/10.The protagonist (Kevin Zegers) for me was the star of the film. Thecharacter was believable and engaging and along with the narration,provided a great deal of insight into the mind of someone on a mission.

A good cast, plot & acting make it a good movie, but not great. I liked it a lot, could've been a little better though. I say B+

"I played by the rules. I wanted to play by the rules, but that's thebig lie. It's not enough anymore so maybe, just once, you gotta breakthem...right?" After Paul (Zegers) gets turned down for a job and hissick mom gets a foreclosure notice on the house he becomes desperate.His plan is to kidnap three kids of rich families and hold them for amillion each. When the plan goes wrong he must find a way to stay cleanand get the money. This is a very surprising movie. This is the type ofmovie where you put it because of the cast and end up really enjoyingit. I'm not saying this is an Oscar type movie, but it is veryentertaining and fun to watch. This movie also had an ending that fitthe movie and is one that is hard to totally figure out before thereveal, which makes it that much better. A realistic look at what a kidon the edge can do if he is pushed. Very much worth watching. Overall,a very entertaining thriller that leaves you wondering who to pull for.I liked it a lot. I give it a B+.Would I watch again? - I think I would, to catch clues about theending.*Also try - Endure & Hostage
