A man breaks into Claire Cooper's suburban home and starts to kidnap one of her kids, but Claire implores him to ''take me'' instead. He does. Thus begins a weeklong endurance test, as Claire and her captor form an edgy bond.
Movie PitchMidnight Run with a female Charles Grodin.
Bottom Line
Kelly Simmons dilutes the suspense with a lot of backstory about Claire's
troubled marriage, but her invigorating prose in Standing Still beefs up a conventional
crime story. B+
