As a teen I watched this film obsessively (among many other Lifetime esc true crime films), so when I found my copy today buried in a box of DVDs I figured I'd give it another whirl! I'm gonna refrain from rating this one though because any score I do put on it wouldn't be able to reflect how I feel while also remaining fairly critical to the quality as I'm definitely viewing this one with some nostalgia goggles.
Finally my thoughts, sympathies, and utmost respect go to Anne Slutie, the real victim this story is based off of, she's a very strong and smart gal!
James Van Der Beek plays a big not very bright kidnapper who makes all the wrong choices. His dumbassery intrigues me.
Had all the charm of that lifetime movies are known for. At times it was a little goofy but for the most part it was a pretty enjoyable watch. Any scene not featuring Tony or Anne tended to drag. The family had a whole lot of that lifetime acting (not very good). James Van Der Beek and Sara Canning were pretty entertaining to watch in these roles. Especially Van Der Beek, id love to see him in more roles like this.
I also love that they didn't even seem to take her to a hospital or anything. They just found her held captive and injured and then were like "Whelp! Lets take you home!"
I don’t remember Aunt Jenna being in this!
Not the brighest kidnapper
This movie transported me right back to the early 2000s. The major close up scenes had my sister and I laughing, the acting isn’t great but overall worth the watch anyway!
A generic Lifetime movie that involves a girl being kidnapped.
Very strange choices all around
The extreme close-up shots with the hand-held killed me, lmao! That 2009 hits differently for Lifetime.
ACAB except Levar Burton.
"I'm looking for an e-quality vacation"
The way she casually slipped that in and the way the police actually caught that when they replayed the call.....such an eye-opener. Even the littlest things can be used as clues when we're in a crisis.
Lifetime movie starring Van Der Beek and LeVar Burton sign me up! Well you knew from the opening scene and its WAY TOO UPBEAT music that this was going to be an awesome train-wreck. Which it was in every way possible. Totally fun to watch anyway.
