(2014) ★½

Sky Movies Premiere: PREMIERE Friday 18 September, 10.15am and 10pm

Monied American couple Ryan Phillippe and Rachelle Lefevre arrive in the Dominican Republic to meet their newly adopted daughter Briana Roy, a seven-year-old Haitian girl orphaned in the 2010 earthquake. Waiting for the paperwork to clear, the new family is whisked away to an exotic beach resort. Where ugly American John Cusack awaits to complete the adoption scam.

Lifetime-level exploitation picture pretending to be seriously concerned with the global scourge of child trafficking. Cusack’s stuck in a rut of inferior B-pics (The Numbers Station, The Prince, Drive Hard, The Bag Man aka The Carrier) but at least here the Puerto Rico locations look good. Funnily enough, the one video-ready B-pic Cusack made with fellow Con Air workaholic Nicolas Cage – The Frozen Ground – was actually pretty decent.
