Kritika: Válságban
When Brooke finds herself being held hostage in a remote prison-like set up she goes through cold turkey as she has no pills, alcohol or cigarettes and after a while she begins to see things more clearly as she realises that her husband and daughter's lives are in danger.
And so this movie typically leads to her taking control back and trying to escape in order to save her family. But is all as it seems, because there are some strange happenings with a young boy who is also being held hostage with her.
One could wonder whether maybe Brooke's husband and assistant were secret lovers and were trying to rid themselves of Brooke or maybe this was an elaborate form of therapy to make her wake up from her self destructive state.
"Final Recourse" is genuinely an intriguing movie which also features nice performances from Teri Polo and Chazz Palminteri with Palminteri once again delivering that air of controlled menace about his character.
There is a nice amount of intrigue about it which leads you to think certain things but never to the extent of being too sure of whether what you think is going on really is. The one trouble it has is that it lacks a sense of atmosphere and tension to make it really come to life.
