Very fun and entertaining

This was a fun movie. When I saw the poster for this and read the summary, I didn't really know what to expect. I grudgingly watched it because I'm not really a fan of anyone in it. However, they were all very good in their roles. Ryan Phillipe and Rachelle Lefevre play a married couple who cannot have kids, so they adopt a little Haitian girl - Nina. John Cusack plays a neighbor who almost immediately makes you question his sincerity as a "nice" neighbor. Along with him, he has two friends who send a bad vibe to anyone with a brain. I won't give away any spoilers, but the movie was intense, and it shows a realistic view of what can happen when you use an adoption agency from a third-world nation. Obviously, they're not all like this, but in situations of adoption, it is best to go with those organizations that are extremely reputable. Again, the acting was very good, and I think the anxiety, anger, and horror Phillipe and Lefevre convey is right on. The car chase at the end and the very final scene are very cliché, but still fun. I gave this a 7-star rating. I enjoyed and recommend it.
