Dove Review

It’s truly too bad this movie can’t receive our Dove Seal because it is a pretty good suspense film and, without giving the ending away, it ends satisfactorily after the movie’s heroine, Jill Parrish (Amanda Seyfried), has endured a lot in her quest to find answers to where her kidnapped sister is. To her credit, Seyfried does a good job in playing a believable character, a girl who turns into a dogged detective in her determination to detour the dastardly kidnapper of her sister Molly. The same scum bag had kidnapped her just a year before, leaving her in a hole before she was able to escape.

Jill had lost her parents close to this time so after her ordeal she wound up in a mental hospital for a time and most of the police force feels she is playing a deck short of a few cards in her quest to find her sister. They suggest her sister is with a guy at a motel somewhere or will pop up anytime soon. She begins to find clues which suggests otherwise and soon she is focused so strongly on her goal to save her sister’s life that no one is going to stop her. It is too bad that strong language prevents us from awarding our Dove Seal to the movie.
