Never Let Go (2015)

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Single mom and former FBI agent Lisa Brennan (Angela Dixon) opts to take a vacation to relieve some stress in Morocco with her baby. The film opens with a story about child abduction so as we watch the film, we know it is only a matter of time...say 15 minutes. Lisa uses her training to follow the kidnappers taking out a few people along the way, going Liam Neeson all over everyone, making her wanted by local authorities who she may have "Liam-ed" a bit.The film was classic formula writing and is a me-too type of kidnapping rescue film except it involves a strong female lead. Dixon gives us a credible performance in a not too credible script. We really get the gut feeling of a determined mom.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

I was on the edge of my seat throughout this movie. Angela Dixon's performance is stunning . Her physical prowess is awesome and her emotional depth totally believable as a mother doing whatever it takes to try and find her child. It is wonderful to see a strong woman leading an excellent cast in a riveting action movie.

Well, all i have to say is wow, i really love the film, i was on the edge of my seat all the way through the film. i think the direction of the film was brilliant Howard did the best he could to bring out the best he could with the film. Angela was perfect for the role, really delivered the character to her depths with a sublime performance. one thing i loved about the film a'lot is the story line was brilliant, a mother figure fights to get her child back, if there's one thing i find so annoying about films is when a woman who is a bad ass, a strong minded woman, fighting for survival, it is all then taken away because it ends up becoming a male (lover) that she is fighting for and her drive, fight to survive and live for. and for once it was not about this. she is a mother, who is trying to be a hero for her child, and it was brilliant.Brilliant job from everyone involved.

I like it when the villains mess with a wrong person, in this case, the person is a very tough mom. Surprisingly she fights back- real hard!.. and that is not the only surprise the movie gives me. The action is great, I was taken into the ride of a mother trying her best in finding her daughter, leaving me with questions like: should she do this or that? It is like "Taken" in different package, with sudden violence to the bad guys, but unfortunately with lower quality, I'd say. The story is interesting, with political intrigue and all. I am annoyed by the way the scenes are taken by the camera (shooting style of the camera?), for me it's too dramatic. The movie has a quite interesting twist at the end. Plus point: the setting is in Marrakech, Morocco. I find the place very interesting.
