“What would YOU do, seems to be the central question here. In America, thereu0026#39;s a waiting list for organs… And itu0026#39;s a VERY long one. Your daughter needs one desperately, and thanks to a certain illicit trade going on in Mexico, you may have the opportunity of saving her life. But thereu0026#39;s a catch… you may have to suspend your moral compass, and turn a blind eye to conduct which is inhumane to say the least. Could you live with yourself knowing what had happened, if it meant your child got a second chance?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am being deliberately oblique here, as there are secrets I would dare not reveal. But sufficed to say, many people would come away from this film thinking that theyu0026#39;d made a different choice to the main character… Me included. But I could understand why he went along the path he did, and I respected that. Iu0026#39;ll stop there, and just add that this was a competent thriller for the most part… nothing special but with enough action and drama to last you until you reach the finish line.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is the point where EVERYTHING that has gone before is overshadowed by the key dilemma. Like one of the Choose Your Own Adventure books I used to like so much, it is a real head-scratcher. Sometimes, there are no easy answers… 6/10”
