It's hard to take Tia Carrere seriously in writer/director Stuart Alexander's weakly scripted and badly made TV-movie thriller. Wildly miscast, she's unconvincing on every level, playing a surgeon facing a terrible life-or-death choice when a former patient's deranged relative kidnaps her family. But though the clock's ticking down, the film is tension-free and underwhelming: stuffed with boring shots of Carrere in her car, trying to look anxious, or literally running around the hospital achieving almost nothing. Only a generically dramatic score creates a sense of momentum, becoming increasingly intense in direct contrast to the lacklustre events. The absence of punch continues to the convenient climax, where the feature's lack of realism reaches its peak.
