When Keller Dover's daughter and her friend go missing, he takes matters into his own hands as the police pursue multiple leads and the pressure mounts. But just how far will this desperate father go to protect his family?








My Ratings .7.5/10

My impressions

Tense throughout from the word go. A missing child, distraught parents and a seemingly impotent police force. The officers try their best within their powers to solve the crime. The father has his own ideas. He believes he has the answer and the methods he use will get him the daughter back.

I wonder whether anyone in the same situation would resort to the same measures as the incident involves a loved one. It might seem extreme but maybe that was needed in this case. Or do we follow the rules to the letter?
