If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

RECLAIM is another cheap straight-to-DVD thriller starring John Cusack. He plays a mysterious character who hooks up with a married couple visiting a foreign country. They've recently adopted a Haitian orphan girl, but a murky conspiracy soon rises to the fore. The small cast is probably the best thing about this undemanding effort. Ryan Philippe and Rachel Lefevre commit themselves ably enough as the protagonists and Cusack is always fun; old-timer Luis Guzman even shows up in support. Sadly, the plotting is very limited and after a bit of early mystery it gives way entirely in the second half, turning into a drawn-out chase thriller littered with dodgy effects and some really distracting continuity errors (watch the placement of the cardigan in the final scene). The only interesting part is the setting; like many new cheap films, it was shot in a glorious Puerto Rico.

It's got all the good checkboxes: they're rich, he's got a 'drinking problem', she's barren, he's an idiot, she's always right and always angry and self righteous. They both have terrible judgment almost criminally retarded bad. The bad guys are practically twirling their mustaches and cackling. I haven't watched it through yet but I figure at the end, red hair white girl will kick butt, get the child back and castrate her husband. Other reviews complain ceaselessly how paint by numbers this is. That's a good thing it's entirely vapid and stupid down to the music which is from other movies; probably some random Nick Cage trash. But cookie cutter is good. Fast food is good. Eat your burger. Stop whining.

Reviewers who criticize the intelligence and common sense of our main characters are spot on. From the very beginning, there is a bad vibe from the woman who is arranging the adoption. The couple ignores that. Then John Cusack's character gives an on off the charts creepy disingenuousness that screams something is wrong from his very first appearance. He keeps showing up everywhere, and yet they still don't suspect anything.The middle of the movie keeps the viewer on edge, just waiting for worse things to happen and they do. Then a series of very cliché events happen. I'm always tempted to highlight them all, but I know others have already done that dirty work for me. The biggest theme is that our protagonists choose not to fully incapacitate their captors, and it comes back to bite them repeatedly. I was also disappointed in the ambiguity of the ending. Still, it wasn't a complete waste of time. It was nice but also disconcerting to see John Cusack as a villain, and he generally pulls it off.

Review: I wasn't that impressed with this film because it looked cheap and the director didn't do a good job with such and important concept. Its about a young girl who gets adopted by a loving couple who pay a lot of money to fast track the transaction. After obtaining the child and falling completely in love with her, she ends up getting kidnapped with a high price on her head. Its not the most original storyline that I have seen and it really lacked emotion from the actors, which was surprising because Ryan Phillipe usually puts in a good performance. It all seemed a bit cheap and I'm not surprised that it went straight to DVD. There are a few intense scenes when the couple are trying to rescue the young girl, but they weren't that amazing. The storyline was predictable from the beginning to the end and the gullible couple should have thought twice before handing over so much money to the people who were selling the girl. Man On Fire and Ransom dealt with this subject matter much better so this film has to get the thumbs down from me. Disappointing!Round-Up: John Cusack was surprisingly quite poor in this film and the loving couple, played by Ryan Phillipe and Rachelle Lefevre, seemed disconnected from each other, throughout the movie. It really is a made for TV type of film because you can tell that it was made with a low budget. I personally think that the movie would have been much better if the young girl was kidnapped from people who lived in Haiti because it would have seemed more real. Anyway, there are a couple of car chases which perk the movie up a little but the whole thing was quite dull and I struggled to stay awake.I recommend this movie to people who are into their drama/thrillers about a young girl who gets adopted by a young couple and gets kidnapped and held for a hefty ransom. 2/10
