Review
I cannot agree that this film should be categorized as an action (the only convincing bit of action is a car chase where the mother and her daughter are being tailgated by a lowlife carjacker) and certainly not a comedy! As a standard LMN movie I guess it could be categorized as a crime drama or possibly a suspense. LMN suspenses for me however have little suspenseful impact as they are mostly so much of a muchness. Twists in the endings or in the storyline as with this one give them some entertainment value.
If there was a separate scale for LMN movies I would give this one a rating of seven for its entertainment value but since that is not possible here I can only give it a rating of three.
There are numerous holes in the plot but I will not describe them here as I do not want to have to issue a spoiler warning. I will however comment on the car chase. I do wonder in reality is the best action to drive at high speed to try to lose the tailgater Is it a good idea to swerve off onto a lonely country road I do not know I have never been tailgated by a maniac with a gun. The sensible thing to me would be to continue to drive at a steady speed keeping in highdensity traffic and only pulling up in an area highly populated with pedestrians andor a police station or near a police car. But then I am not trying to make a movie.
