Reclaim (2014)
2/10
Great plot distilled to predictability. Well done actually you look at it in that light!

Warning: Spoilers
Great movie idea which could have been a REAL cliff-hanger. But, but, but...instead it ended up being incredibly lame and excruciatingly poorly executed. Actually, for such a fantastic movie-plot to become so predictable is a feat unto itself! (which is the only decently "starred" rating it gets). Incohesion springs to mind. The cliff- hanger (and yes, there literally is one) is made all the worse by an amazing irritation over the main characters total lack of action. And then an agonizingly trite ending with the very obvious "family-stick- together" theme and police WAUW WAUW make me feel both frankly manipulated and with a feeling of WTF!?. I am actually somewhat offended because it feels as if good actors are used to gain my time and money. Sadder still, Mr. Cusack (who should be more discerning I think) is going to have this shite to deal with the rest of his career. Was it really worth the money and...I wonder how does he, and the other actors feel about the end result?
