Butterfly On a Wheel (2007)

Genre: Drama/Crime/Mystery/Thriller

Starring: Pierce Brosnan, Gerard Butler, Maria Bello

What happens when your perfect life is put to test and you see everything you have lived for falling apart? Neil (Butler) and Abby Randall (Bello) are happily married with an adorable daughter. Like any other normal day, they set to work only to realise that they have been carjacked by a lunatic with a gun. Tom (Brosnan) has kept their daughter hostage with the 'planted' babysitter and threatens to harm her if they don't do exactly what he asks them to do. He somehow doesn't seem to be behind their money and never actually tells them what he wants and leads them on a wild goose chase across the city. Although the movie is built on an interesting plot with a strong star cast, it fails to deliver and doesn't quite seem to click. The story has it's bits of thrills, twists and turns but it seems too far-fetched and hard to believe. Based on too many assumptions and co-incidences, it is not the kind of story that can hold your attention for too long. Had they utilised the plot outline to draft a more solid script, perhaps this movie would have been a true thriller than what it actually turned out to be.
