Surprisingly incoherent and boring
... View MoreExcellent, Without a doubt!!

... View MoreWatch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
... View More"Baby Snatcher" claims it's based on a true story, and that's probably right. But it doesn't necessarily make for a good film. One of the problems is the casting. Michael Madsen plays the clueless husband. Madsen is the award winning actor famous for such films as Reservoir Dogs (1992), Getaway (1994), Species (1995), Kill Bill (2003), and The Hateful Eight (2015), so his playing against type here is not entirely believable.Veronica Hamel, on the other hand, is known for her work in the TV series Hill Street Blues (1981-7) and Lost (2004-10), and her desperate scheming wife doesn't seem to fit.Setting aside the casting issues, the story itself takes a long time to evolve.
... View MoreI loved this film. I thought Nancy was fantastic in it, as well as David. When Bianca tells Cal that she was pregnant, even though the doctor told her that she had diabetes, I thought it was oddly convenient for her to have a fall as that would convince anyone that your pregnant. I'm surprised that Bianca had actually got away with kidnapping Sophie. I didn't think it was right of David's boss to tell him not to go public with the case, if it was going to help find Sophie and when your having an affair there's never a right time or a nice way of telling your partner. David just should have told his wife.I did think it was a bit amusing when Bianca tries to adopt a baby at when she is supposed to be nine months pregnant, you would think that she would of thought about that well in advance.It's a terrific film and i would recommend it to anyone!!
... View MoreI saw this movie last night, 02/05/05, and I'm still baffled at the thought of a baby being stolen from his/her mother. Even now I'm glad that this movie aired because I think it gives a prospective of child snatching from the parent's point of view. David Ducovny and Nancy McKeon did a great job as "Karen Williams" and "David". I didn't know that it was David Ducovny until I took a good hard look at him because he was so young in that movie. Hopefully this movie has helped police and law enforcement agencies handle missing children's cases a little more diligently so that what happened to "Karen Williams" never happens to another family again.
... View MoreThis is one of those "real" movies that one can relate to. The acting was superb. It was like watching a real event happen in front of me. I was "in" that film and quite frustrated when the commercial breaks interrupted it. I was totally absorbed throughout "Baby Snatcher." I feel this film is excellent viewing about some real problems plaguing our society. It was real, sincere, gripping, intense. Great direction by Joyce Chopra. I feel this film should have been in movie houses, not just a TV movie. The performances by the leading four actors: Veronica Hamel, Nancy McKeon, Michael Madsen and David Duchovny were excellent. I would have given Nancy McKeon an academy award for her performance in "Baby Snatcher" and I'd love to see David Duchovny in a "Harrison Ford" type epic drama. He would make the film and the industry proud! I hope "Baby Snatcher" is not shelved and that it will be shown again or made available to those who want it. The only thing I would have changed is the title. Examples: "Where Is My Baby", "Bring Back My Child", "Empty Cradle".
