Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

A PROMISE KEPT has a very interesting and unusual plot, the adaption is thrilling without the limitations it probably would have received if it was a big studio production, it has a good camera, an excellent soundtrack and very professional lead actors.Sean Patrick Flanery and Mimi Rogers are great, Emma Nicholas and Brian McNamara excellent and Tom Wright could have a bit more screen time. Jeff Speakman ads a lot of color to the movie.The plot surely causes discussions, and that's more than you can say about 95% of the movies. It's a good idea to watch it with friends, an interesting and probably controversial discussion afterwards is guaranteed.

Not a true spoiler but does describe a scene late in the film.I registered for this service simply to express my amazement that films like this can find financing. The plot is clichéd and ridiculous (a cop with a murdered wife and new partner, battling a vigilante?), there are numerous repetitive scenes, the characters are unsubtly written and generally highly unbelievable, and to top it off there is a clumsily-delivered religious message. Poor Mimi Rogers.Are we expected to believe the scene in the parking garage with the vigilante scuffling down the side? The escape is so unlikely but that is conveniently ignored because the plot requires the vigilante to get away.Last, it is difficult to imagine anyone unironically enjoying the song "Goodnight Erin" that plays through the credits. Utterly uncomfortable to watch/listen to. For friends of the film-maker only.

I enjoyed the movie so much! I thought most of the actors were great. I really enjoyed Sean Patrick Flanery, Joey Lauren, Brian Mcnamara, Mimi Rogers, and all of the other adults acting. I really enjoyed the movie.I thought that the child who played "Brianna" was very good, and very realistic in the abduction scene.The music was wonderful, and I thought it accompanied the movie well.Daniel Millican is a fabulous director, and did fabulous. I think that this movie is good, because it lets you know what really could be/is happening out there, and it's important to know.All in all, I really enjoyed it.

I generally like to watch independent films as opposed to the big Hollywood productions especially when a subject tends to be controversial. I was generally dissatisfied with this movie and it isn't to do with just one thing but several things which niggle at the back of my mind. The plot could have been the basis of a really good story, working policeman investigating missing children finds himself emotionally involved when his wife is shot to prevent his daughter being snatched, but the story rapidly settles into a tried and tested formula and inconsistencies creep in such as if you are going to shoot a woman you aren't going to leave the daughter behind if she was your goal. I'm not sure if it was the way the film was edited but there were continuity problems, perhaps it was felt that the film had to be shorter but sometimes I felt that I had missed something somewhere like missing a page of a book. I guessed who the assassin was but there was no reason why the child snatcher became what he was. Perhaps I demand too much it was a good effort on a difficult subject but better direction and editing would have made a the storyline better
