bbox43 I am a huge fan of Eva La Rue, so when I read that she was in this movie, I had to see it.And the same with all of Eva's work, I was not let down.Not only does she portray the role of a police officer exceptionally well (Well, she has been a cop in two other roles so she should know what to do) but she also plays the part of the sister who is unsure of what to do next, which is what I love about it.When I find this movie on DVD, it will definitely be going on my shelf.A solid performance by Eva, and overall a fantastic movie.This movie is definitely one I can watch over and over without getting sick of it.
Taraisfab I watched this movie when I was almost nine months pregnant, and the sad fate of the main character's pregnant sister gave me one or two brief moments of terror when I heard bumps in the night. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed the film, and taped it when it showed again, so I can dip into it occasionally. The plot is based on real life cases of 'womb raiders' - people who kill pregnant women to steal their babies. A police woman who is very close to her sister Elle is perplexed when Elle vanishes into thin air. It first of all seems that a sex offender has abducted her, but when she shows up dead with her child removed from her body, the race is on to find the killer and most importantly, the baby girl who might possibly still be alive.The characters in the movie were all likable - even the cheating husband had some redeeming qualities. And like other reviewers have said, the standout performance came from Eva LaRue Callaghan. She had the right mix of confidence and humour as a successful policewoman at the beginning of the movie, which changed into anger and determination when she lost her beloved sister, determination and drive when she hunted the killer, and finally, warmth and kindness when she reached out to her overbearing mother and cheating brother in law. The movie matter is certainly disturbing, although delivered in as gentle a way as humanly possible, and not for pregnant ladies, but once baby is safely delivered, settle down for an enjoyable and engaging couple of hours!!
edwagreen This is a very good film but needed much more telling as there is still a greater story to be told.A policewoman's sister, who is pregnant, is shot to death and suspicion falls on the husband who has been known to have a roving eye. It turns out that the guy had a one-night fling with some nut case who learned of the pregnant wife and being unable to have children, decides to blow the wife away and take the child for herself and the child's father.With excellent detective work, the nut job is located. Here is where the story ended but I think there was an even greater story to be told. How will the mother-in-law and sister-in-law be able to bring back the son-in-law into their lives? After all, his philandering did lead to tragedy though he had nothing to do with the murder. Yes, there is a baby involved but can we readily forgive? There was an opportunity for a sensational story here that is overlooked. The woman who played the killer had the temperament of Mrs. Danvers from "Rebecca," and the looks of the late Colleen Dewhurst.
mitzithebest I love Eva as the conniving (spelled right?) Natalia on CSI Miami and she was great in this movie too! I thought she brought a lot of compassion to her character and made me really feel for her. Does anyone know when she's doing another movie? Her and her partner also had a great chemistry and I wanted to see them hook up in the end. I can't believe there have been actual crimes like this. It did also feel like the Lacy Petersen thing at times to. The husband was even called "Scott." I wonder if that was intentional. I just wanted to slap that mother though, lol. And the husband. It was a fun ride though.
