I thought this was a pretty good film and well worth watching. However, it is NOT what's promised on the back of the DVD box, which makes it out to be another TAKEN.
This is mostly a respectful, thoughtful film, that explores all sides of the issue at hand. It's far more complex--and a better film--than what the marketing department is trying to sell. There is no "cross country journey to revenge", which is good because instead we're given solid performance (especially by the young Liana Liberato, who I'd never seen before) and real situations; true drama.
I absolutely would recommend this film to friends, I just wouldn't let them read the blurb on the back first.
