A female biology teacher is kidnapped by a vicious criminal who has threatened to murder her husband and son if he doesn't get what he wants. The criminal destroys the only working telephone in the cabin where she's held, but she manages to put enough of the pieces together to send out a call that's picked up by a stranger, on his cellular phone. She manages to convince the stranger of the gravity of her situation, but she has no idea where she's being held, leaving his cell phone as the only link to her whereabouts - and his batteries are starting to wear out.
Talk about action packed... The action starts within the first 5 minutes of the film and doesn't let up until it ends, 90 minutes later. In between, there are car chases, shootings, robberies, beatings, foot chases, blackmail, corruption, explosions, kidnapping and more. The plot is a good one and is actually based on a kernel of truth. One of the DVD bonus features is a 30 minute documentary about the true life activities that became the kernel of truth - very interesting and unsettling. While some of the action in this film is a little over the top and unbelievable, it never gets dull and the 90 minutes just races by.
