Ryan ontvangt een oproep van een vrouw in paniek op zijn mobiele telefoon. De voor hem onbekende vrouw Jessica Martin is ontvoerd. Ze heeft totaal geen idee waar ze is en ze is ervan overtuigd, dat ze niet lang meer te leven heeft. Na zijn eerste twijfel is Ryan overtuigd van de ernst van de situatie. Hij moet helpen, hij heeft geen moment te verliezen; elke seconde telt! Ryan kan alleen maar hopen dat zijn telefoon, die bijna leeg is, hem niet in de steek laat, want wie redt Jessica als de enige lijn met de buitenwereld verbroken wordt?

Imagine going about your day, minding your own business. The phone rings. It's a stranger, kidnaped and pleading for your help. You are her only chance...
I hadn't heard about this film until recently and I can't recall it ever being on tv either, so I was unsure what to expect. It gets off to a very shaky start. It cuts from Basinger in a fairly gritty kidnap scene to Chris Evans on a beach having trouble with his valley girl ex-scenes which feel like they belong in some teen rom-com. However, the film improves as it goes on, with a better balance being developed between humor and drama and a semi-decent twisty turn plot moving on. Evans does a good job of portraying a vulnerable hero way above his head. Kim Basinger is miscast as a science teacher [ok...] but does her best. Jason Statham plays one of his few full villain rolls, and sadly doesn't show a lot of his trademark charisma, being only given a standard heavy part. William H. Macy is the best part of this film in his supporting part, adding a good deal of humor and screen presence, especially in the finale.
The film reminds me of another Statham film, Chaos. Its nothing major and quickly forgettable, but its solid 90 mins entertainment.
