BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Roy Curiosa The most stupid movie I've ever watched. I beg you not to watch this. It'll just stress you how poorly this movie was made. Lot of things can be done to escape. The script is just too stupid. Very STUPID MOVIE. I've seen a lot of human trafficking movie but so far this is the worst. I don't know how is this a powerhouse movie. Nothing makes sense.
bkoganbing Ryan Phillippe and Rachel LeFevre are a pretty well to do yuppie couple who are in Puerto Rico looking to collect a daughter they've adopted who was orphaned from the earthquake in Haiti. It's an adoption agency run by Jacki Weaver and the couple has laid down some heavy bread for their new daughter Briana Roy. Before they leave the little girl up and disappears. Phillippe and LeFevre have been good and had as police lieutenant Luis Guzman tells them.But the kidnappers are from finished, especially after the head kidnapper John Cusack hears how rich these two are. That was their undoing, they should have cleared out and run with what they had.Cusack is a particularly nasty piece of work, but he has a lot of problems controlling his henchman Jandres Burgos who has some real management issues. He dislikes Phillippe instantly and he dislikes each and every thing about him, looks, money, beautiful wife.Reclaim is a film about adoption scams. God knows there's a lot of third world kids out there and a lot of childless parents like Phillippe and LeFevre who can't have children and it's a terrible heartache that real bottom feeders like Cusack and Weaver seek to exploit.A lot of good location cinematography in Puerto Rico is featured with some nice shots of Old San Juan and the rain forest and beach. The cast is good and the climax is a thriller.
Larry Silverstein I had very low expectations going in regarding this film, so I'd have to say it overall was somewhat better than I anticipated. Yes, it has some really ridiculous plot elements, but it does maintain a fair degree of tension throughout and might serve the viewer as simply an escape type flick. It also has quite the strong cast in John Cusack, Ryan Phillippe, Rachelle Lefevre, Jack Weaver, and Luis Guzman.Set in Puerto Rico, a well-off couple Steven (Phillippe) and Shannon (Lefevre) arrive on the island to pick up their newly adopted seven-year-old daughter Nina (Briana Roy). It's all been set up by an international adoption agency run by a Mrs. Reigert (Weaver), who greets them on their arrival and arranges for them to stay at a resort for a few days until Nina's passport comes through.While there, they're approached by the creepy and mysterious Benjamin (Cusack) and his two cohorts, and they start to feel quite uncomfortable with Benjamin's omnipresence and all his questions. Steven and Shannon change hotels, but soon find themselves right in the middle of a huge adoption scam called "reclaiming", and eventually even find themselves being kidnapped.All of this will eventually lead to a wild, prolonged, and rather melodramatic ending.All in all, as mentioned there's some gaping plot holes to be found in the movie, but I still thought there was enough here to be mildly entertaining. I've certainly seen a lot worse and felt it was worth the $1.59 I spent at redbox.
Nick Mageloff *** Spoiler Alert *** This is my first ever review - I am writing this to save you from WASTING 90 minutes of your life as my wife and I did! What a complete piece of trash and HUGE insult to my integrity as a human being!! If you want to be an armchair director and yell at your TV - this is your movie!! Absurd scenes of violence and car chases that even a high schooler would have negotiated better!! The problem is in the last 15 minutes or so of the movie. Everything is really good up to that point. You know things are up but do not know exactly what, great entertainment. But then as the plot begins to unfold, it turns to total crap and bunch of ridiculous plot turns and a retaliation from Phillippe that is so absurd at every turn that you really feel the insult to your integrity like no movie I have ever seen. Cusack and Phillippe - I will be much more careful before I EVER watch one of your movies again, why did you even bother???
