A tough movie to watch, this film is a powerful drama, and disturbingly emotional. It also has a tendecy to prey on our fears, especialy a mother's biggest fear of loosing her child.

A bond between a mother and a child is an exteremly powerful and complex thing. The love a mother can have for her children is intensely mind blowing.

Thats why a seperation of any kind can be absolutely devastating for everyone involved.

Supposedly the film is based on a real life event. A single mother loosing her only son to a suspected kidnapping. Angelina Jolie plays a mother who,embarks on a desperate attempt to reunite with the only real love of her life, her darling son. Things only go downhill from there.

Its truely heartbreaking to witness the Mothers anguish and sorrow over loosing her son, and if that wasnt enough, the poor woman has to deal with the police calling her a liar and insane.

It is unbelievable the amount of adversity and heartache this woman has to endure and the fact that she manages to get through it is quite a testament to her strength.

alot of pain and just overall uncomfort is experienced through this film, its a truely sad story that doesnt quite end happily.

The film deals with such heavy issues and the length of the film begins to really take its toal on your psyche.

I cant reccomend this film to anyone, for any reason other than to see what a talented actress and performer Angelina is. If your the least bit sensative, stay away from this movie. One thing can be said, is that the woman in the movie never gives up hope, even at her darkest hour, her truth prevails and the unjust are punished, thats the only relief the film has to offer from an otherwise brutaly tragic tale.
