Adopted

About This Movie

So, 'Adopted' is a pretty intense drama that dives into the psyche of a parent in distress. The pacing is relentless, really draws you in as Duane spirals into this obsession to find his missing son, Derek. The atmosphere is charged with tension, and you can feel the strain on his marriage with Sarah. I found the performances quite gripping; they really embody the desperation and heartache of the situation. The way Duane confronts the kidnapper is unsettling, and it highlights the lengths a parent might go to. It’s not just a missing child story—it's about how trauma can unravel a family. The practical effects are sparse but effective, serving to enhance the realism of the turmoil.
