The film opens showing us the ideal life of soccer mom Brooke Holton (Teri Polo). While multi-tasking while driving she meets with bad consequences that cause her to live a life of alcohol, pills, and 3 packs a day. One day Brooke is kidnapped, by fairly nice people, and held for ransom along with a young man who happens to play soccer, like her dead son. Brooke is forced to sober up, face reality and find a reason to live. The original title of the film, I can't repeat as it was a plot spoiler.

I saw the twist before she was kidnapped, which made the film painful to watch as the acting and script was not great. If you like those Lifetime type films, and aren't too bright, you might want to check this one out.

Parental Guidance: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

I've never seen a movie go completely awry in the last 20 minutes or so.

When a couple lose their son in an auto accident, it's all downhill for the mother quite rapidly.

This is just in time for her to be kidnapped and put into an abandoned gym with another kidnap victim.

The two plot to escape and do so leaving their tormentors dead in a sea of bullets. Unfortunately, her fellow captive also takes a bullet.

Returning to the real world, our heroine soon "discovers" that supposedly her husband is carrying on with her partner.

It's then that this film goes completely berserk. The unimaginable occurs with our dead people coming alive. We wanted our heroine to return to good health, but what was done to her is absolutely preposterous. Ridiculous to say the least.

This was a solid movie. The performances were good throughout. One weak actor can ruin a movie, but there were none. Teri Polo was very good in a difficult role. Chaz Palminteri is always compelling. He manages to bring honesty to every role and underplays beautifully. The writing was clever, and a nice departure from what normally passes as a thriller. The screenwriter did a nice job of conveying a lot without repetition. Good use of misdirection. I thought the score could have been better - it felt inserted at times. Most importantly, though, the story flowed well and accomplishes the key task of any film - it keeps the viewer wanting to know what will happen next.
