The greatest movie ever made..!

Best movie ever!

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Overall: This movie is okay at best and is something I would watch if it came on TV.Good: *Amazing Music *Great ways of creating tensionBad: *Quite possibly the worst car chase I've seen is a while *Abysmall ending with numerous plot holes *Generic and boring villains *Cliched and easy to predict *Adoption agency lost and forgotten until the end *They apparently get no punishment for muder, technically kidnapping, possession of a firearm, discharging a firearm and vandalism.Best Part: The mini-chase scene at the end before they kill the main villain.4/10

While Reclaim has a good intention of showcasing human trafficking issue, the absolute mess that is its production will not reach out to anyone. Practically any element of the movie suffers, from the shabby acting, poorly constructed action scenes, choppy editing to cheap plot devices. It even goes to the realm of implausibility at times, making it a below average movie, even by the standard of B-movie.Story follows a couple who tries to adopt a little girl, strangely in an exotic place. Steven (Ryan Phillippe) and Rachel (Rachelle Lefevre) have no idea that the adoption process is a scam. From there they fall deeper into tourist trap and have to face Benjamin (John Cusack) for their money and possible survival. Acting is flimsy even though the leads have pretty respectable resumes. The husband and wife are probably the less awful personalities to watch, it's supposed to be easy to root for them, but they rehearse the same sad story and make incredibly dubious decisions.Ryan Phillippe and Rachelle Lefevre perform decently, although the script doesn't really support them. At least they are believable enough as the couple. John Cusack doesn't deliver a stellar performance. He seems more disgruntled than menacing here. All the other characters are simply too detached, but the worst is the cast of Briana Roy as Nina. The film relies on relationships between the new parents and the child, and she's just not capable to exhibit that kind of chemistry yet.Most of the time Nina would just stand rigidly, and it's partially the mishap of the directing effort. Scenes are not put in smooth fashion, it almost seems like the actors are confused mid-scene. The movie already starts slow, but as it progresses it becomes silly, using poor plot devices for dramatic effect. As though fooled by online scam isn't precarious enough, the characters often dive to one inconceivably bad situation to the next.After a while the camera work degrades significantly. It's wobbly on the action, especially a couple of chase scenes which are confusing at best. Towards the end it awkwardly implements CGI from last decade instead of actual action choreography. This looks very plastic and unconvincing, the practical effect doesn't fare better with ridiculous fake blood. It also fails to utilize the exotic scenery as it goes into random abandoned building, alleyway or forest when it needs to deliver the climax.Whatever message and decent premise Reclaim might have, they are utterly squandered by the abysmal production value. If you want a better experience of the premise, Nat Geo or even Youtube documentary will provide that for you.

I really wanted to give this movie a chance, even after reading all the bad reviews. I like Ryan Philipe but this movie sucked!! I really don't know where to start. This movie started out good. 30 minutes into the movie and i realized how bad of a choice i made. I felt like I wasted my time and my money. This movie has some of the worst acting, especially coming from John Cusack. The lack of judgment is poorly scripted and just got in my and our friend's last nerves. It was so predictable and by the bad acting and poor script I felt like I was watching an old Freddy Kruger movie where there girl has the chance to escape from being killed but decides to run and fall into a dead end alley. My friend's and I kept feeling as if the movie fell into a dead end that kept running in circles. It fell short and we regretted renting this movie. What a disappointment!

*** Spoiler Alert *** This is my first ever review - I am writing this to save you from WASTING 90 minutes of your life as my wife and I did! What a complete piece of trash and HUGE insult to my integrity as a human being!! If you want to be an armchair director and yell at your TV - this is your movie!! Absurd scenes of violence and car chases that even a high schooler would have negotiated better!! The problem is in the last 15 minutes or so of the movie. Everything is really good up to that point. You know things are up but do not know exactly what, great entertainment. But then as the plot begins to unfold, it turns to total crap and bunch of ridiculous plot turns and a retaliation from Phillippe that is so absurd at every turn that you really feel the insult to your integrity like no movie I have ever seen. Cusack and Phillippe - I will be much more careful before I EVER watch one of your movies again, why did you even bother???
