Continuity errors (a character offers to make tea moments after his stove has spectacularly exploded; night and day are one big blur) are just one indication of how little anyone involved seemed to care about this ho-hum kidnap thriller based on James Patterson's novel. Freeman looks almost embarrassed to be reprising his Kiss the Girls criminal profiler, who's drawn in to one last case, while Julia Roberts-manque Potter's Secret Service agent is required to participate in so many plot twists, it's a wonder she didn't get whiplash.
