“Former soldier LT (Tory Kittles) feels responsible for one of his menu0026#39;s death. When the guyu0026#39;s 12 year old daughter goes missing, LT sets off to find her, but runs into a dead end. Itu0026#39;s one year later and heu0026#39;s a mess. Lola (Libe Barer) and her muscle AJ (Sarunas J. Jackson) comes looking for him. Her 12 year old cousin has been kidnapped but she canu0026#39;t go to the cops. She is the head of a drug crime family while her father is in prison.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAfter the bar fight, I was expecting a black Taken. Thatu0026#39;s some good times. Suddenly, itu0026#39;s one year later and the pacing takes an unwelcome break. I would have wanted the tension to continue to ramp up. Lola is an interesting twist although I donu0026#39;t buy her as a drug kingpin. The movie turns back into Taken, now with a little girl as his partner. Once they get to the cabin, they would obviously call the cops. At the very least, LT would call all his military buddies. Some are bound to help. Also, I would have expected more firepower from this group.”
