This film really does look in to the shock and numbness of loosing a loved one so suddely especially in the order of rape and violence. which must be a horrible way to die.
however i must admit that this film when i first saw it had me on the edge of my seat and made me much more aware of how careful i had to be when answering the door and that attacks can even happen in broad day light. this film is also very good although the ending is a little bit predictable. Also the first film i have ever seen with keifer suthurland in it.

With Keifer Sutherland starring you can't go far wrong. This was superbly acted by both Kiefer and Sally Field. I am not usually too keen on Sally Field, but she was excellent in this role. It was riveting the way she continued her battle to get justice for her daughter. Keifer is mean and bad, unlike his Jack Bauer character in the 24 series. Well recommended to all, especially Keifer fans.

i actually whatched this filme the other nite in bed on tv and when the film started i was hooked. the thing with this film was that it held the story of the film together which is very rare with some films like this. the thing that got me with this great film was how disturbed i was when the daughter was killed when her mum was on the other end of the phone hearing her daughter die in a horrifc way. but then we see what happens after when we see the mum of the girl go throw what people hope not to go throw. and how she gets her revenge on the man the killed her daughter

this film is not for the faint hearted but it is a cracking film and worth a whatch

when a mother of two hears the brutal murder of her eldest daughter down the phone she thinks her world has fallen apart. when the killer of her daughter is realeased due to a 'technical hitch' the determination for justice and revenge shows through as this ordinary mother turns away from the law and towards more effective methods. this film is believable which is rare with revenge plots and extreamily well acted. keifer suderland manages to disgust me and sally field plays a women losing it and dangerously close to the edge very well.

this movie guides the viewer through the reality of a grief striken family and demonstrates the strength of maternal instinct but also the psychological effect trauma has. this film has the power to anger any viewer and holds your attention throughout. well worth a watch.
