This is not a good movie. Almost immediately you had to assume a lot of parts, like how the daughter wasn't in Turkey for charity events. Well, the film never tells you that she's there for charity, you had to think that up for yourself. But okay, nothing's perfect right?
Ol' Ray Winstone sloshes through this slow script at a snails pace. He's never very interesting or engaging, like Liam Neeson's character from Taken, or Denzel Washington's from Man On Fire. He's boring. I was really mad when at the beginning (spoiler here) Ray asks "Why didn't she have her phone?" This was never answered, which was confusing and irritating.
The biggest problem with this movie is that I never cared about the girl who was missing. Unlike Taken, we never meet the daughter, so I honestly didn't care what happened to her character.
Maybe they were just to tired to film a decent ending, because (spoiler) when Ray finally sees his daughter again it's under ridiculous, perhaps stupid circumstances. The end is a big slap in the face, throughout the film you're thinking; "Was it the girl's lover who did something? The strip club owner?" But it doesn't answer any of these questions, hence wasting an hour or so of your time.
If you absolutely have to see this, watch the first scene and the last scene, because that's all you really need to know.
