Wow! Such a good movie.
Awesome Movie
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Having gone through a divorce with her military husband, a woman is told by others that she has to assert herself. Go know that within a short time, she and her young son become victims of a carjacking from a fleeing bank robber.The hostage taker tries to act friendly. Maria Bello, looks just like the way Faye Dunaway would have looked as an older Bonnie and Clyde woman. The resemblance is absolutely remarkable.When his true intentions come out,Lorraine (Bello) is eventually able to turn the tables on him. What she goes through during this incredible ordeal is unbelievable to say the least.The film is well-paced.
wow carjacked sucks ! rubbish script, crap story, boring story, really really boring story. Watch a good crime film like " the getaway " with Steve Mcqueen, but don't waste your time on carjacked it sucks PS ending is idiotic, the baddies run over by a car so hard he'd be dead no question...but no he gets up still able to hold a gun ! this had to be written by someone with maggots for brains and an IQ of 25.How do film makers decide to make a film like this ? who in their right mind could have read the script and said yes thats a good story ? if you want to be entertained do not watch this awful crap. 98% of the scenes in this film are of 2 or 3 people driving in a car..we see nothing of the scenery they would travel past making this some of the worst cinematography I've ever had the misfortune of watching, i cant warn you enough to stay clear of this stinker of a movie
I've been watching a lot of 'thrillers' lately that seem to fly through theatres and straight to video faster than a taco in an intestine. Most of them have been average and then some are just barely watchable. Carjacked seemed interesting enough but it turned out to be more of a laughable B-Movie mistake that was slapped together and poorly made, directed and acted. Sherry and Michael Compton co-wrote this script and I have to assume it was made as some sort of cruel joke because it isn't the story that is necessarily bad, its the details in the film. The characters are annoying and the most likable character is the carjacker through most of the movie. Then when the woman who spends the entire movie trying to supposedly 'protect' her son finally gets away from the carjacker (even though she had MANY times to do so) the first thing she does is...call a school board to find her son...not the police because that wouldn't make sense? Every decision she makes is a laugh out loud joke that will have you rolling your eyes through the whole movie. While the dialogue in the movie isn't terrible, the details drag this through the mud.Maria Bello is better than this crap. Her character is whiny and annoying and even though the film would have you believe she has some sort of epiphany and fights back, she doesn't. She gets lucky and makes a bunch of really stupid decisions that ends up okay for her. Bello is awful in the role because the role is awful. Stephen Dorff's performance as the bank robber and carjacker is sort of up and down. Sometimes its a good role, and sometimes he's as annoying as Bello. Their chemistry is barely existent but the dialogue between them is okay. Youngster Connor Hill is okay as Bello's son but he doesn't get a lot to work with and is victim to the same bad script as the rest of them.The only thing that makes the film even remotely watchable is a few solid action scenes that come out of nowhere to surprise you, and a decent premise that gets lost in all the other crap. Director John Bonito has two credits to his name...the other being The Marine. So maybe the film makers wanted this to be some kind of bad B-movie Grindhouse type film but they failed at that if that is the case. The movie is just all around poorly made. There is no reason to sit through this even at a 5/10 because the only slightly redeemable qualities won't make up for the hour and a half you won't get back. 5/10
Firstly I am surprised that this became a BLU release and not a theatrical release.Regardless that my music plays at the start of the closing credits I approached this film with an open mind and some caution.That said I was pleasantly surprised and impressed both by Mario Bellos down to earth performance and believability as well as Stephen Dorffs villain.Unlike most movies of this genre which are more action and less script.I felt there was a nice balance and interaction between Bello and Dorff that keep the film alive and interesting.Yes there where some clichés, but it is a thriller and we love to hate those moments.All in all it's a nicely shot film with realism and has a great contemporary composer on board (not me) and you really feel for the characters and their dilemma.A great supporting cast and executed well. A good date night movie!
