        This is one of the best movie I have seen in quite some time. It has everything that makes a great movie, suspense, action, drama, and some heartfelt scenes, great acting, and a solid plot. When a woman's husband is at the wrong place at the wrong time, he captures two brutal killings on video tape by a corrupt bunch of the LAPD. The men, who are determined not to let the video tape get to their superiors and ruin their careers, kidnap the man's wife (Kim Basinger), and interrogate her into telling them where the video tape is, of which she has no knowledge. As incentive, they kidnap her boy from school. As all of this is going on, she manages to randomly call a young man on his cell phone via a broken phone in the room she is being held, and convinces him to help her notify the police. As with any cell phone, he desperately tries to not lose the signal, and keep the battery charged, all while racing to get to the authorities and save her. The movie kept my attention throughout, and allowed me to not only believe such a situation could actually happen, but feel for the characters as well. There are very few movies that are this well made anymore, and I highly recommend you see it!
