The boyfriend (Kiefer Sutherland) of an abducted woman (Sandra Bullock) never gives up the search as the abductor (Jeff Bridges) looks on.
What I find so interesting about this film is how much they made it like the original. Sure, you have the same director (a nice touch), but it seems some small concessions could have been made. Bridges did not have to be European. Or, if you wanted a European, perhaps one could have been cast (though I suppose the idea was to get a bigger name).
All in all, though it is not as dark or as powerful as the original, it still makes for a good film. Bridges shines, and it may stand as one of the strangest abduction stories ever told.
