I sometimes wonder why I watch a movie. Like I know it's junk, but I seem to keep on viewing to the end. I've seen at least three movies lately. First one is really disappointing - Gone (2012) with Amanda Seyfried. Cops were chasing her over a number of days and trying to find her while she was using the same cell phone to communicate with people. Like every one knows people can be traced and tracked with mobile signals. The whole plot was also silly. She was trying to solve the abduction of her sister who was hidden by the baddie of the movie and a guy who had abducted her before under their house. The police thought she was crazy and the more leads she got the more adamant they became in trying to catch her. I can't figure out why I watched the movie to its end.
Next movie that was also junk - was Never let go (2015) with actors that aren't that familiar - Angela Dixon in the main role. They don't say which Middle East country she was in, but her baby got abducted, and she turned out to be an extremely hard hitting CIA agent with all kinds of karate moves and skills - engaging gangs of three or four in karate combat. Everything was false and plastic about the movie. Plot was very flimsy. In the end it was a high ranking politician in New York whom she had an affair with who tried to get rid of their baby and was involved in a baby smuggling ring in the Middle East. Wow, I'd like to see that kind of crime happening in the Middle East. For me it was obvious who ever made the movie had never really been in a Middle East country and has a very poor grasp of the culture.
Another movie I saw that was slightly better from the point of view that it was at least "real" with a female detective in the hero role. She worked with her brain and skills to profile and investigate, so I'd say one can watch it, but I wouldn't score it more than 7/10. Movie was called Lost Daughter (2015) also with a not so familiar actress name Sue Bourque. Acting was not that bad either and movie moved fast. Plot was at least realistic. It was about a woman whose husband and daughter were killed in an accident, who then got jailed after she killed the driver responsible for the accident. She got released on parole for good conduct a few years after, got struck by a car, then got psychotic and unhinged, mistaking a cop's daughter as her own and abducting the daughter. The daughter's mom was a detective and figured out where to find her. Gun battle and fight at the end of the movie was also credible and looked realistic.
