Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd mostly succeed in saving this somewhat pedestrian thriller from Lifetime Movie territory. Freeman plays a policeman in search of a possible serial killer and Judd plays the one woman who was able to escape the killer. Together, they try to piece together her memories to find the killer and free the growing collection of young women he has collected. The movie, based on a book by James Patterson, really wants to start at the mid-point, once Freeman and Judd’s characters meet for the first time. Everything before that is just padding. If you’re into twists, you’ll get a few of those, but you’ll probably see right through all the red herrings. With Cary Elwes, Tony Goldwyn, Brian Cox, and Jeremy Piven.
