Beautiful, moving film.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is an okay movie, but at the same time, it's kind of a stupid movie. I would not have made the same decisions the mother makes regarding her daughter. I don't think she always took her childs safety into consideration. Many major motels and hotels have babysitting services. Especially in foreign countries. And, especially since the mother felt that the city was one of the most dangerous cities in the world. Plus her daughter is handicapped. She can't communicate with anyone who does not know sign language or reads lips.The little girl gets into predicaments that children do not normally get into and did "stunts" that most children do not do or can do. It's kind of far fetched. If you can get past all of that, you might be able to bear with the movie. You might want to see what the child gets into next!! *lol*

I found it funny and entertaining.The entire cast was good - yes, even William Hurt...though the parents roles weren't much developed.The movie wasn't about the parents...and maybe Denis Leary's part could have been a bit bigger.I like the work he does...he draws so much character.This is a cross between Home Alone and Die Hard but set in Europe and with a brush of comedy.I think it was well written and kept a good pace...The best action movie ever made? no...not at all...but it kept me interested...and it beats many other films which I own.

When a so called lovable little girl is involved in a suspense story,what do you expect? Certainly not the unexpected! You can see in her eyes that the villains will not get the upper hand.The more helpless she seems ,the stronger she is when danger comes around.Dumb but not dumb! The supporting cast is wasted:William Hurt is cast as the father and all he has to do is wait ;Jennifer Tilly 's part is not much more exciting:all she's got to do is bemoan over her unfortunate daughter's fate.You will guess who pulls the string as soon as that villain appears on the screen.Only the first scenes in the hotel can ,at a pinch,generate some suspense.But after that,it's downhill.The worst is that horrible "singer" ,pedophile at that!On the other hand ,Dennis Leary's junkie is quite nice.Get "Amsterdamned" instead!

I don't know what people wanted to do here, I don't now either if this was a comedy, thriller or what...A 10 years old girl escaping from a "pro-murderer", giving him some pain, driving cars, kicking faces, jumping from the roof of a 10 floor hotel, jumping from elevators... Are we stupid or Amsterdam's police department are more stupid than us? Home Alone was so much better than this and Arnold Schwarzeneger would like to fight just like this 10 years old lady. This is the worse movie ever...Something good about this movie??? I don't think so...1 out of 10 (overrated)
