This movie could be renamed "Quickchange". Not only does it fit with parts of the plot, it fits with a lot of things. First off, it fits with Jodie Foster's acting. She starts off calm, cool and happy...then before you can say "lost kid" she goes completely insane. No slow descent into panic, she's there right off the start and doesn't let up until the end. Another way that "Quickchange" could apply is to how fast the film pulls itself out of the gutter. The first hour and ten minutes or so are awful, full of idiotic characters, poor acting, obvious twists and even a couple plot holes. All of a sudden however, things start to change. A twist is introduced that actually makes sense and that I actually didn't see coming. The acting becomes at least bearable, Foster tones herself down quite a bit, thankfully. All in all, this isn't a bad movie. It really picks up near the end, don't give up too fast!
7/10
PS - Was anyone else reminded of The Lady Vanishes? Much better film, but this reminded me of it in parts.
