I agree with most of the previous comments: This movie is bad. I bought it because I saw that "Mahoney" was in it and thought it was some kind of comedy. Definitely not. Bad acting, and a storyline full of holes (not just the one the child fell in). Here some more errors. 1. The movie starts with an upcoming child custody hearing, supposedly in Germany, near or in Berlin. In Germany, if the mother is German and her child is with her in Germany, NO one will hand over the child to the father from abroad, so there would most likely be no hearing in the first place (it is even extremely difficult for a German father in Germany). 2. The child lies in rising ice cold water for about 1 h, without getting unconscious. Probably it served in the US marines or the CIA before, training such extreme situations. At least it stops speaking when finally submerged (about time). 3. Although the movie was apparently partially shot in Germany, and the ambulance as well as the firetruck appear to be German, the paramedics as well as the firefighters wear uniforms with badly glued on signs on their regular uniforms, identifying them as "fire dept" and "ambulance". Why should German Uniforms look bad and have English descriptions? 4. Nobody in the village dares entering the woods, because they are "cursed" because people vanish in them, but nobody keeps looking for them and nobody knows about the mine shafts, although they were in operation 100 years ago. Hello? The mine is by the way far to small for an operation in the early 1900s, and NOBODY in Germany believes in cursed woods (except maybe some people in mental institutions and little children). 5. In the end, the fathers closes the mineshaft with the cheapest, thinnest wood from the home-depot, so "that nobody would have to endure what we had to". The construction will definitely rot away within a few months in German climate. Fill the shaft with sand or soil, that it will stay closed. I have seen worse movies, but not many.
