Kathy Kuoch

Very good plot just not the right actor for the lead. Casey Affleck in an emotionally packed movie without the emotions. He is a PI hired by a neglective mother to find her little girl. His client is a drug addict who forgets her little girl in a hot car, neglect to feed her, drags her along to a robbery sting with her bf. Many adults are trying to save the little girl, breaking the laws, kidnap from the mother, give her a loving home, a better life, a chance for a bright future... Yet against them all, Mr. PI and his high moral compas, questionable values is set to bring the little one back to her mother... only to end up being neglected again.

There is some substance to the plot, way to late at the end. The movie took a long time to develop. While the characters go through the motion of life, not much is happening. The exotic settings in South East Asia, the scenes in the pool area, the disappearence of the beloved dog, the cross dressing scene, all those scenes failed to create any real suspense.

One star is for lack of morality and principle. This movie is trying to project reality with unrealistic actions. Marla, the scammer, survives the beating, drugging, drowning with barely a loose tooth. Two skinny scamming lesbians overtake a mafia boss, form scamming partnership with same and are very successful. So glad there is some form of justice in then end.

If everyone just stayed home and did nothing, they would have saved 10.3 million dollars. Blondie listens to music while hubby is fighting the zombies. On the run from killers, trying to survive, they romance each other in the back of a car (pardon me, a collectible car). All of a sudden, blondie becomes the terminator with guns...saving herself and hubby from a hopeless situation. Worse movie ever.
