Eh. It was okay, but creepy and no empathy for any one character.

Rating: 6/10 (5 October 2013)

The first sign of emotional connection for me didn't happen until 30 minutes or more into the film when the 2nd dad didn't want to be involved with Jackman's character's torture plan.
I think the movie got right into the swing of things and kept moving, but we really didn't spend any quality time getting to know any one character, so it was confusing who to root for. And by mid way it fell right into the typical mystery formula. No actual suspense, since the clues are all given. And of course the villein gives an oratory on why everything has happened. UGH.
It was mostly creepy.
"The Call" (little girl kidnapping story) for example was creepy too, but you felt for Haley Berry's character right off, suffering with her. This movie lacks that central character you understand.
Who's movie was it? It felt like it wanted to go to some gripping emotional areas, but sort of fizzled, at least for me.
It was entertainment, but fairly average for my taste.
