A fine film in many ways, BUT RUINED by the WORST PHOTOGRAPHY BY FAR out of hundreds of movies I have seen in my lifetime

Rating: 3/10 (23 August 2016)

The plot is interesting (read other reviews to learn about it). Denzel does his usual superb acting job, Dakota Fanning and Radha Mitchell as daughter Pita and her mother Lisa Ramos also do fine jobs. If not for the photography I would probably give this flick about a 7. The movie runs a bit too long in my humble opinion. But who was the person in charge of photography??!!! Paul Cameron?? If I had been watching this on the big screen I would have had to leave after an hour because of a splitting headache. The camera is out of focus and jiggling about 1/3rd of the time!! Just horrible. However, I did learn something from this movie; namely, that in Latin America at least in the early 2000s (this movie was released in 2004), there is a big problem with kidnappings.
