May 11, 2008Mind numbingly soberering. as a father of two young daughters this is my worst nightmare. The fact that the movie is based on what happens every day is a chilling reminder of how far we have yet to go as a society.

A nasty, vile business, made more slimy because director Marco Kreuzpaintner doesn't trust the intrinsic interest of his story, and pumps it up with chase details, close calls, manufactured crises, an... full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Comes off like TV-movie sensationalism, sidetracked by distracting backstories and hard-to-swallow plot twists. full review

Pete Hammond, Maxim
A bone-chilling, disturbing thriller about a forbidden subject the government would probably like to sweep under the rug. full review

Nick Schager, Cinematical
