This is a quite an entertaining movie about a divorced mom who goes through highs and lows, in the country of Mexico, to find her son who has been abducted by her ex-husband.
The acting wasn't bad and I thought the pace of the plot gain much momentum. Just the the main objective of the mother going through foreign lands and going through hoops and obstacles to find her son is pretty captivating. The subplot of her racing against time because of her son's poor health due to asthma adds onto the story's excitement.
It is, of course, not the greatest movie out there, but is by far not one of the worst. It is kind of refreshing to see a thrilling drama movie, especially a made-for-TV one, that is not one of those sappy, puppy love romance flicks or action/adventure wannabes. Instead, it is a nice story that shows the heights and sacrifices a mother would take to rescue her son - a strong showing of a mother's love for her child.
