There's a slew of films currently playing about missing/kidnapped children. One wonders what kind of epidemic America has going for it - the prolific guns and the kidnapping of girls. Certainly not good days for the US of A.

Anyway - this film is also of the same theme - a fairly straightforward tale of a missing girl and the search for her b y her sister.

Unusual is that the main protoganist is a girl and a boxer at that so that takes care of the physical part the role demands.

Kali Reis is a stark presence swaggering on screen physically. She is not asked to emote much which suits her just fine.

She does a fine job of the action and there is not much more to fill up the movie. It is quite spare on the storytelling bits, just getting right into it with the missing girl.

The trail that leads her to the abductors is given a short shrift and shown their hand early on. The rest is a propulsive plot that carries the film forwards as Kali tries to get at the missing girl.

While straightforward, worth a dekko.
