Reclaim (2014)

I was lucky and was able to see this last night with my boyfriend at the premiere @ Harmony Gold in Hollywood. I didn't know what to expect but I have to say it was very refreshing. It's low budget so you have to account for that but the action sequences and actors are all very solid and Ryan Phillipe and Rachelle Lefevre give the most convincing portrayal of a married couple and new parents that I've seen in a long time. The fact they are so convincing I think is what makes it so good. I really cared about them and as the the problems kept escalating it was like you couldn't breath it was so suspenseful. Also John Cusack is great- his performance is much different then you would expect and I really think it worked. Plus the little girl Briana Roy is awesome! This is a small movie but a good one. A thriller about real people in a bad situation as opposed to drug dealers and superheroes. They should make more movies like this.

Fmovies: Me and my husband watched this and liked it a lot. It's not a crazy big movie but the married couple (Rachelle Lefevre and Ryan Phillipe) were very real and I think it showed a married couple becoming parents very well. I cared about them and when things started to go south it was very suspenseful which I thought built well and as the stakes rose and the action began it was all very exciting. John Cusack was also very good in this-- he played the bad guy but in a very different way then you've seen before and it was really a joy to watch. The scene at the end with Jacki Weaver and him was one of the best I've seen in a long time. Briana Roy the girl is going to be a star she was so adorable! All in all we were very entertained throughout so what more can you ask for?

"This scam that you're talking about might be true but it also might not be so you have to keep looking for her." Shannon (Lefevre) and Steven (Phillippe) are Americans who have traveled to another country in order to pick up the daughter they have adopted. The girl loves them instantly and the parents feel the same way. When they wake up one morning and find her gone they run to the police who tell them about a common adoption scam that is being run. The new parents decide to take it upon themselves to get her back anyway they can. This is a movie that I wasn't expecting a whole lot from but was pleasantly surprised at how much I like this. The movie was tense and gripping almost the entire time. The emotion of parents having their child taken really helps you get sucked in and you are right there with them hoping they find the girl. While it is sometimes predictable it doesn't distract from the intensity and I liked this quite a but. Overall, a gripping movie about a real problem in the world that I recommend watching. I give this a B.

Reclaim fmovies. Steven (Ryan Phillippe) and wife Shannon (Rachelle Lefevre) get caught up in a child trafficking scam when they go to Puerto Rico to adopt a young girl.

The above is all you really need to know. If you take the language out this would be a tepid made-for-TV movie. The script is lame, the acting is okay but there is no pull here. In other words no real reason to continue watching. There are no twists. What you see is what you get and that is not saying much. If you are not familiar with human trafficking then this is a primer for you: Human Trafficking 101.

Very disappointing. It should have had more impact, importance that would have showcased a very big worldwide problem: human trafficking. Didn't happen.

Normally, I run to a John Cusack movie. Now I have to rethink that. Like I said: disappointing. (3/10)

Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes.

Here goes an hour and a half of my life for nothing. the acting was very bad (even John Cusack's), the directing is very very bad. the story itself is not solid, and the reason for the couple to adopt is repeating itself over and over, directors have to find a new reason for couples to adopt other than that story. i think the story shows how naive this couple was, and how they got themselves in trouble, and the funny thing is they won against a very bad people, loaded with guns and criminal history. the husband doesn't look of the type who will beat a whole gang, and he looked as comfortable with the places he is in as it were his neighborhood.

I don't recommend this movie at all, very bad and a waste of time.

The idea of the movie is great. It's suppose to be a great thriller. The man who wrote this script must find himself another job, because he has done all he can to ruin it. it's so unreliable and has so many holes and problems. If i ignore the script and the bad acting, the sites of the film are very beautiful. i don't understand how John Cusack agreed to play in this movie. Luis Guzman got himself a bad role, and he performes very badly in it. I think he was discussed of the script so much he couldn't do it right. If you like thrillers, do yourself a favour and DON'T watch the movie. Sometimes the score of a movie in IMDb lies, but this time i think the grade of the movie does a mercy with it.
