I have never seen so much blatant foreshadowing.
I was literally picking the lines that they would play back in the reveal.
I you have seen a thriller in the last 7 years, you will have this one in the first 30 minutes.
And as usual, once the twist is revealed, nothing makes sense when you go back over it.
"See it with someone you love...Go by yourself"
Agreed, if the ending was different I would have rated it higher than a 4 but that was a stupid twist that was tacked on(also how would a wanderer become a detective in less than 4 years lol).

Totally. They have these things called adoption and surrogate parenthood. So lame.
shareYes, but in most cases you have to pass a psychological exam. Somethinhg I am sure neither character could do! The twist was much better than most but trolls(OP) still gotta troll!!
Meat's meat, and man's gotta eat!!
You clearly don't understand what a troll is...

I see a movie every day, many thrillers as well but just didn't see this one coming at all. Liked the movie very much, gave it 9/10.
shareoh my god
what a *beep* twist
and the ending? nothing is resolved, why did cusack's daughter had to replay the message over and over, what was the point?
To taka 69...
The daughter was playing the message over and over because she could hear a baby crying or gurgling in the background as Kelsey was leaving the message saying how wonderful motherhood was going to be, or something to that effect. The Fletcher family knew Kelsey was unable to have kids. Wait a minute -- Kelsey doesn't show up at Mike's funeral, there's a baby crying in the background on the voice mail, she can't have kids, the babies are missing. Bingo! The reason for the baby factory...
I'll say this much, I didn't see the twist coming because it's such a retarded piece of junk ending that wants us to believe that a person could be kidnapped and establish a new identity as a cop and still help the guy who kidnapped/rapped her so that she could be a mother when she could have adopted. Oh, but I guess adoption agencies look closer at potential parents then the police look at potential recruits.
It's a really dumb ending that brings down an otherwise decent straight to video thriller.

Worst movie I've seen in a long, long, long time.
Just so fvcking stupid I'm mad at myself for actually finishing it.
And word that the twist is obvious right when we find out she can't have kids which is, what, like 20 minutes in? There was no point in having them mention it otherwise.
lol @ everyone sounding so proud of themselves for "seeing" the apparently weak twist... which you all are 110% lying about.

i didn't see it coming, but the twist was awful. if she was truly in on it, when they got to the house at the end, why didn't Jennifer Carpenter just shoot John Cusack right when they walked in the house? that way her "daddy" wouldn't have been killed. but instead she just waited, and he got killed, then the twist was revealed. so stupid.
shareIt is possible she hopes the guy could have left with the babies by the time they were there. they would then save his daughter and the other girls. I doubt she wanted to kill Cusack's character until the end because killing a cop would bring more problems if the other guy was still alive. She might have needed to still keep her cover then, but when her "daddy" was killed or dying she wanted revenge.

Absolutely, NOBODY saw that coming. There is nothing whatsoever in the film up to that point that would make anyone think that was going to happen. Like you said, 110% lying.
Look at some of the posts, 20 minutes in they knew. So when she shotguns the dad everyone knew that was coming? NO WAY!

Gawd, you viewers must be so JADED to see the twist. First of all, not every movie has a twist, does it? Secondly, she was so-well adjusted, a friend of the family, a veteran cop, a detective--how could she be brainwashed by so-and-so?
But seriously, you must be LOOKING for twists in every movie you see if you saw this coming, and when it doesn't happen, you must feel let down. I feel a little sorry for you. Many great thrillers have no twists, you know--look at Fargo or One False Move, for example, to just name a couple. Twists that don't really hold up are just cheap devices, like loud bang music in horror films. People who are fooled into thinking these cheap devices are true dramatic elements tied to the plot, are fooling themselves, and missing out. Also, plot 101 in writing school is that you keep an audience by giving it a sympathetic character. Killing one off for the sake of a less-developed cipher of a character is not good writing. It would have been different if there had been a long build-up to the betrayal, a rivalry even, but to just kill off the father and hero like that for the sake of shock value really hurts the film and degrades an otherwise decent thriller. After all, the villain and the baby-factory idea was interesting enough, plus the daughter getting caught up in it. How much more do you want? Sheesh.
