We have a dumb kid that doesn't listen to mom. Kids will be kids.We have a dumb hucklebuck kidnapper that as another reviewer noted could have gotten the job done himself.We have a dumb but attractive home health care nurse mom Sarah that once her kid is missing from school doesn't follow the path her kid would use to walk home. Mom doubles down on stupid by not involving the police. Sarah is hit on by one of her patients. Too bad it's not a Hallmark movie, he'd stand a better chance for romance.The pinnacle here was Sarah's church-going mom urging her to gank the guy. If you want him dead, do it yourself mom. Some back and forth here and the guy is not ganked. Mom is played by veteran actress Linda Thorson, who replaced Diana Rigg on The Avengers.Once they figure out where the daughter is (twice) they never call the police.The end scene was really dumb. They're clearly in less than waist deep water. Go out there and get your daughter. Then there was all of the swimming when all they had to do was walk.At the end the highway patrol is on scene and everything is OK. Sarah has hooked up with her presumably now former patient.Points (I actually deducted a point) for using authentic looking rust belt vehicles along with realistic Ohio highway patrol vehicles and uniforms though. Quite often these made in Canada movies don't worry aboot this level of detail, eh? I actually deducted one point on the Lifetime movie scale for this.Real movie score: 2/10 (better is higher). Lifetime movie score: 8/10 (stupider is higher).

I really wish the premise of this move was a little more believable. Once the mother got involved this movie because so phony and unbelievable. Most of the action was very predictable and horribly planned out. Every time Grace's father went to the phone booth I cringed. Just so horribly unbelievable. Character development was also lacking. So many places this fell flat. The detective that came to the house seemed too forced. There could've been more story development there. This movie started out being intense but ended as a dud. Don't waste your time.

Alright, let's see:1) The girl has no idea how to jump rope or walk without skipping like an epileptic2) The movie's budget apparently couldn't cover the cost of a new bottle of Sunny Delight3) The kidnapper's super solid kidnapping plan was apparently to keep a sleeping child in a basement forever by feeding her small sips of drugged Sunny Delight4) There needed to be an epilogue expelling that the misunderstood kidnapper with the heart of gold was sentenced to 15 years of colon-widening showers. The insane wife chewed through her restrains and killed a bunch of people5) I'll end on a high note by mentioning the spellbinding performance of the OTHER kidnapper with the heart of gold who ran into the river where he immediately drown without saying or doing anything.

I swear this movie is designed for emotional people who have very little logical capacity. The plot makes no sense. The point of extortion and kidnapping is to get the victim's family to do something, that the kidnappers themselves cannot do. In this plot, they can do it themselves but just want someone else to do it essentially (which makes no sense).Of course the title suggests "two wrongs... don't make a right"... but that is absolutely silly. Self-defense, war, criminal justice, these are all committing acts against another human to correct a WRONG by doing something that is usually WRONG. So what you do doesn't matter unless it's particularly heinous but WHO you do it to, does matter.Behavior itself is not immoral. Context of the behavior and the perpetrator and victim can make something moral or immoral. If a mom bear kills the wolf threatening its cubs, that mom bear is not immoral.The only person talking sense in this movie, is the man who did the worst crimes possible...and the old mother who's too weak to just do things herself. A perpetrator who's a coward. It's just a bizarre drama for the sake of drama.
