There is a good story to be told here. The whole mystery of the family past and the Oslo incident is sufficiently interesting and fun to unfold.
But the film is marred.. maybe even ruined.. by the silly, incomprehensive plot devices that are used. First of all, there is the obligatory stupid scene where a car is chasing a girl and she runs away by running down the middle of the street. No actress should ever agree to do one of those scenes ever again.
There is a scene where the bad guy rams his car into the moving car with the good girl in it so he could then kidnap the girl. How did he happen to be at exactly the right place to do this? Why was he completely unharmed? How did he know he would be unharmed doing this?
There is a scene where the girl decides to go for a bike ride along a path by the river. Whoa! There's her boyfriend sitting there waiting for her a mile in for a surprise. How did he know to be there and get there in time for her to stumble upon him.
They ran out of time at the end so they had the girl just figure out the whole mom backstory IN HER SLEEP.
Yes, I'm being a bit picky but those things ruin a film for me. There are more but I'm boring myself writing them.
I really like T Colette and some of the other actors but I can't get above a 6 here.
