There are several positive aspects to this film - right from the opening surreal scene at a deserted Alexanderplatz U-Bahn station in the centre of Berlin, the film is great visually, if at times a little clichéd. It's well edited, the acting is very good, Jodie Foster of course but also some of the supporting actors too. And the exploration of the initially apparent explanation for the absence of the little girl is worthwhile. But then... well things become frankly silly. Other commentators detail some of the plot holes so I wont repeat their observations, except to say that they get progressively worse towards the end. Overall, it's worth a viewing if there's nothing better on the other channels.
