Negative - I didn't read up enough on this movie before viewing it. I didn't
realize that Jennifer Lopez plays a lesbian in the film. Homosexuality
was displayed as an accepted lifestyle. The film used the f-word at least
90-100 times during the two hours; sometimes 4 times in one sentence. The
language was very, very offensive. There were also very strong sexual
references to body parts. The mentally handicapped boy that is kidnapped
uses very bad language and is very focused on sex. Besides these morally
offensive things, the story itself was very boring and slow. I would not
recommend this movie to anyone. Negative - I repented after watching this movie. I liked Jennifer Lopez and Ben Aflec so I thought it would be a good movie. The movie glorified homosexual lifestyle and the language was sewer language. I doubt I will watch another movie with either actor in it because they degraded themselves with acting in a movie with such degrading parts. This is not a movie for any decent person and especially not a Christian. |
