The other reviews here seem to mention the lead actress stiff acting, and I agree with them. I have seen rocking chairs that were less wooden, and showed more emotion then the lead in this movie. Also according to IMDb, this was her first movie ever, so that kind of makes sense. It's almost as if they found a random woman walking in the streets and asked her if she could be in their movie and she said yes because she really needed the money.

The only good actor in this was 'Rick'. He was very attractive and played the part well. Emma was attractive too, but she was horrible at acting. Everyone else ranged from mediocre to terrible. But I enjoyed Grace Patterson's little cameo appearance near the beginning and at the very end, although she had no lines.

The movie's plot wasn't exactly thrilling or left me at the edge of my seat considering the whole premise. There was not that much action throughout. And like the review by "jessicab-82766" said, Emma had so many opportunities to run away from her captor as he did not have a gun with him, but a knife. And the mother was so stupid to just mindlessly touch stuff that was clearly evidence and getting her fingerprints all over them. I actually yelled "WHAT ARE YOU DOING???" at my TV screen during the part where Hillary touches the door handle of her daughter's car. Have LTM characters always been this dumb??

I actually looked forward to this movie before it came out, because the plot looked promising, but I learned not to have such high standards for LTM's. Standards that they could've easily met up with years ago. If you want to watch a movie that has a similar storyline, then you should watch 'Driven to Murder'. That was probably one of the best Lifetime movies from last year.

Also, the full name of the bad guy in the movie was 'Rick Frye', but IMDb gives him the name 'Rick Hoover'. The names of the lead, mother, and Rick's dad were also changed.

I don't know why they actually released this. All of the acting seemed like it was high school kids in a school play for the first time. It was so cringey I couldn't turn it off. The main character looked like he was trying to get in character but it was just so bad. It was just all around horrible and so many strange plots. Who would walk a hostage around holding them so they couldn't move? You'd think someone would notice? Or the cops turning on sirens when they were supposed to not approach? THE MOM ON THE INVESTIGATION? Lol if you like watching bad movies this one is for you otherwise you should save yourself the time.

I have never been in this situation before....but there were many times she could have ran. It's a knife, not a gun. I know she's supposed to be scared and of course, you would be in a real life scenario...but she was not helpless. He had his back turned to her a few times.

Also, the woman working at the front desk at the motel...why would you stand in front of the car calling to report a domestic violence situation? He's going to try to run you over. I get it's a movie, but come on. The actors were okay though.

Anyway. It gets a 2 star rating because it was something to watch on a Saturday night.
