Detective Taylor (Cindy Humphrey) is investigating an especially brutal
murder of a whole family - with one exception, elderly Patricia (Annabel
Davis). That she has been the murderer is more or less impossible though,
but Taylor figures there's something she just refuses to tell, so
investigates her background and slowly but surely starts to piece together
a puzzle. And as she's still at it, she learns that Patricia has been
kidnapped, and her trail leads to a church ...
Glen's (Bradley Turner) a small-fry crook on the run, his 5 year old
daughter Anna (Camilla Elliot), the only person he truly cares about, in
tow. In desperation, he amd Anna hide out in a church, but that place is
soon surrounded by police. And inside the church, he finds an elderly
priest, Father Blakefield (Tim Faraday), who seems to be quite ok with
being taken hostage by Glen, even helps him to get his daughter to safety
from the shoot-out that's bound to follow, and ht talks some sense into
the young man. Only, things aren't always what they seem ...
Now ok, the beginning of the movie seems a bit rushed and
features a few too many supporting characters and sibplots to follow the
story properly, and the resolution of the story might even give itself
away a tad too soon, but the film's heart, the hostage situation as such,
is pretty much a masterclass in suspense as it twists and turns in a
masterful fashion, shifts between breathless and calm with great ease, and
leaves one guessing for the longest time, if not about the actual outcome
then at least about the motives. And a strong cast really bring this story
to life to make it into a great genre piece.
