How sad is this?

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

When considering the way women are treated in the world today, it will be important to distinguish between gender equality and gender equity. Equality, where different genders are seen as equal in value and ability, CAN ONLY BE REALISED VIA CHANGING ATTITUDES, whereas, equity, referring to fairness under the law can be achieved through policy change. Carjacked does just that - playing its role in effecting attitude change.Presently, the Gender imbalance in the world is one global menace I'm worried and angry about, and you should too, as there is a never-ceasing conspicuous disparity in access to opportunities and decision-making power for women and men. Changing the world is hard work but the crew and cast of Carjacked (perchance unknown to them) is championing the cause of gender equality.Globally, women have fewer opportunities for economic participation, less access to basic and higher education, greater health and safety risks, and less political representation than men. Though women account for over 50% of the population, they only own a few percent of the world's economic power.I liked the fact the judge who decided over the couple's case was a woman. Yes, women empowerment is a critical aspect of achieving gender equality. It includes increasing a woman's sense of self-worth, her decision-making power, her access to opportunities and resources, her power and control over her own life inside and outside the home, and her ability to effect change. Guaranteeing the rights of women and giving them opportunities to maximize their full potential is critical not only for attaining gender balance, but also for meeting a vast range of international development goals including unadulterated democracy. So, in attaining gender parity, women's economic and political empowerment is imperative.I will see Carjacked over and over again. It is a classic. Women's rights are human rights.

Lorraine and her son are in the car one night on a way back home when they must stop at a gas station for some frozen pizza and gas. It's the perfect opportune for a thief Roy to get in their vehicle and force the woman to help him get out of the state.It started good, Stephen Dorff plays his part very well but as the story goes along it becomes too jaded and with shabby dialogs. Also near the end when Lorraine an ordinary mother is able to steal so easy a car, handle a riffle while she is driving is so theatrical. So in conclusion what she is after? The thief money? in stead of making worries for her life she is able to go with a dangerous killer to steal his share? You could watch this movie for the first 20 minutes or so but after it goes to pieces and you realize that you just wasted time on a film that the story can only happen in movies.

It's good to see Stephen Dorff in a good movie once in a while. And he has a good partner in Maria Bello. Of course she plays the main character in the movie. Still it is one heck of a good show Stephen lays out there. The movie does work for most of its running time (2/3 I'd say, the last third being a "bit" OTT for my liking), even though you're wondering why Maria does some of the things she's doing.Still the last parts of the movie might ruin it completely for you, unless you are looking for it to go completely crazy and show things that do not make any sense (in the realm of the movie that is of course). A decent effort, but nothing new

45 minutes in and the only thing picking up any speed was the car. 28dayslateranalysis.com says "One of the more exciting thrillers to come out this year!" Seriously?!? Apparently whoever they got this tag-line from doesn't get out much...AT ALL! Don't waste your time...it be will 89 minutes (if you can stomach it through) of your life you'll never get back. Wow, IMDb won't publish my review because I don't have 10 lines...really?...this movie doesn't rate more than a few lines. It will take me longer to figure out what to say about this pathetic excuse for a movie than the 45 minutes it took me to determine it wasn't worth giving it the other 44 minutes to finish watching.
