PeachHamBeach I don't know what rock some of these reviewers are crawling out from under to post their anti-TV movie reviews with their oh-so-carefully chosen and mind-bogglingly intelligent descriptions "no adrenaline rushes" "it sucked". Without bothering to truly elaborate on WHY they thought it was an inferior work. Obviously they didn't WATCH the movie or they can't focus their meager attention spans on anything without orange fireball explosions or video game CGI.I saw this movie today and it is one of the best nailbiters I've seen in a long time. I have never seen Linda Hamilton turn in such a raw and emotionally wrenching acting performance, especially as her character becomes more and more exhausted with the multiple emotional burdens that have been placed on her.She plays Rachel, an expert tracker who finds missing hikers and campers for a living in the desert. A 9 year old girl has disappeared from a campsite, and it is a race against time to find her before she dies of exposure or thirst or is killed by a animal or even human predator.As Rachel follows the spoor of the missing child, you learn through flashbacks that Rachel's own children are presently missing, stolen by Rachel's menacing husband Kevin, who abused Rachel and the children throughout their marriage. The man is portrayed realistically, a hideously cruel monster underneath a charming and handsome exterior.This movie is PROOF that the cliché "TV movies all suck" is totally false. I know there are some really god-awful TV movies out there, but it is a tiring (I'll say it again) Cliché when people bad-mouth a movie just because it was made for TV. There is a frick-load of blow-hard theatrical movies out there as well, but these silly reviewers probably love those exact kind of movies...yup.For the record this is one "TV movie" that deserves praise.

MovieAddict2016 Boring can most aptly describe this drama of sorts that follows Linda Hamilton as she preaches about why men are bad (her kids are taken from her abusive husband and she "learns" from this). It's also quite corny, with bad voice-over monologues that are the sort of unnecessary, lazy techniques that Robert McKee preaches about.Some work and some don't. This doesn't.Hamilton has admittedly purposely done these made-for-TV movies because she wants to stray away from Hollywood. She has succeeded - and they suck.

riz-11 (Possible minor spoiler) Linda Hamilton gives her usual impressive performance in this excellent movie about a woman trying to get away from an abusive ex-husband. The creep has abducted her children. While the police look for him, Hamilton helps search for another missing child, who has wandered away from a wilderness campground. It's a poignant, compelling story, filmed in the fabulously beautiful deserts of the American Southwest.

JuBoo Linda Hamilton is convincing as a search and rescue tracker searching the desert for a lost little girl. While the dialogue in many instances of the film left something to be desired, Hamilton's voice-over work when revealing the character's inner feelings and motivation was exceptional. In a particularly well-acted scene near the end of the film, Hamilton brings a heartfelt realism and poignancy that every mother can understand.Kevin Kilner brilliantly played the violent ex-husband and kidnapping father that you love to hate. Kilner is usually a very pleasant presence on screen, which is what makes this evil performance so impressive.Way off-the-mark were the flashbacks scenes meant to show the characters early in their marriage. While the premise was a good one, in order to help viewers understand the relationship and its origins, Hamilton's character was played by a young actress who looked nothing like Hamilton while Kilner remained in his character's shoes, looking not the least bit younger.
