Sadly Over-hyped
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
if plan A failed, there are still plan B,C,D,... until Z. that's what this movie looked alike.. Every time you think it's gonna end, there's always a new clue or idea. the plot and the story is very good, entertaining from start until the end.. this movie just almost like "cellular" movie, very recommended to watch.
you're so unbelivebly ice-hearted, numbless, without any minimum feelings! predictable - No! it's wonderful life adventure, with spiritual messages about difficilties in life, and morality.who ever here think of himself as "know it all", and judge everything for the worst - is a poor small man, miserable person.because it's not about realism or not. this is not the issue. you should stop bringing good ideas and movies and stories down, shut t f up, and do something for yorself beside judging others accomplishments. get a life!grow t f up! you spoil stupid childrenawesome and deep movie, recommend very much. and if someone have better movies - i'll be happy to know which.
I really enjoyed this movie which I assume was a low budget straight to Netflix production The movie is based on a true story which is interesting in itself and provided you can turn a blind eye to some dodgy plot twists it is a fast paced thriller with lots of action that keeps you guessing until the end. The cinematography is excellent with beautiful shots of the Caribbean islands just off the coast of Puerto Rico where the film was made and the actors including Danny Glover give good performances. Special mention must go to the director Phil Volken who has only directed a handful of movies so far however I was impressed by this effort and look forward to his next offering
First of all, I'm the father of a daughter. If things happen like this I believe I would do most the same as this dad did in the movie. A message to some people seeing this is a nonsense movie, here are my concluding:1. In real life, You have to imagine there will be a lot more worse and more stupid people than bad guys in the movie that you could never understand WHY!2. in case no one trusts you, you have to find your own way to solve the problem, not to wait for any congenial ideas from any men, from any government. Because they are not living in your mind, not in your urgent time, not understand your situation, not living for your life, do not expect any empathy if they don't have it... So don't wait for them to say in their final word that is "we are sorry"... In this particular scene, no men can search for his family among thousand of islands within 1 night and 1 morning, so don't blame that he is stupid unless you put yourself into this...3. If the father waits for the police to catch that Haiti and tracing banking account, cell phone, interviewing suspects, doing process kinds of stuff... the next day will be wasted forever and could lead to the death of 2 fresh bodies...
