Dreadful baby dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2009)

What ruins this movie is that the whole story is totally preposterous and ridiculous.A child is kidnapped and the film then embarks on a nonsensical whodunit which in the end poses a moral dilemma that in effect the chief of police stole the kid to give it a better life so why not leave things alone and allow the policeman to keep the kid....dear oh dear, give me a break! And no there is no argument, because in real life( not fantasies such as this) children no matter what the background of their natural parents should stay with them in most situations apart from abuse etc. Along the way getting to the nonsense ending we have all sorts of wholly unrealistic scenes and dialogs which I will not bother to relate as it wastes my time and are just completely far fetched. The lead actor is meant to be a outstanding person who faces the aforesaid moral dilemma yet in another scene he shoots an albeit loathsome yet unarmed man in the back of the head and is treated as a hero for doing that.No wonder the USA has a gun problem. Morgan Freeman gives an almost identical performance in every film; he is like a puppet except his mouth moves sometimes; Ed Harris wears a cocker spaniel hair piece which makes him look laughable. The romance interest of the lead is an excruciatingly bad actress. The makers of this film have an agenda: all celebrities because of their status and wealth are entitled-so the propaganda of the picture suggests- to whatever children they want and if that means kidnapping them so be it. Complete rubbish. 1/10.
