jwilli1265 The story was based on the very realistic happenings that occur in this sick world of ours today. The problem with the movie is that the actions of the police, the heroine and the parent the movie were so far fetched and unrealistic that it made the movie not worth watching. Over the years, I come to expect Lifetime movies to be a tad on the corny side. But they are generally very clean and devoid of gratuitous sex and violence so I always watch them. To me that is a worthwhile swap. This movie was over the top and very predictable. The movie did have a bright spot and that was Eva. Not her role mind you, but just watching her was wonderful.
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!!
Ebenezer-4 Eva LaRue played the part of Carrie perfectly. I loved seeing her on All My Children and now she is in a movie that taught me how people really act in this world. The scene in the movie that I liked was at the end when she was asking Rosa if she knew who she was. I want to be a police officer when I get older because I want to protect people from harm. Eva you taught me that family is the most important thing in life and how to live your life to the fullest. You are a hero in my eyes. You are an excellent actor and you have the talent to go very far. You are so cool and you are always going to be a role model to me. When I get older I hope to be just like you when I get older. Eva you are the best!
