IT'S A VERY SERIOUS GAME

Lifetime's interesting film about child abduction...well actually the child was with his father, but in a different country. The story is one of a mother's persistence in getting her son back, even if it means risking prison because she doesn't play by the rules. Tiffany Rubin (Taraji P. Henson) was able to pull it off because she had support from her second husband, a stranger who cared, a teacher who cared, and the US embassy which did everything it could within the law.

The drama and dialogue aspect of the film was less than most films of this type, most likely because it kept to the real tale and didn't take as many liberties with dramatization other than the anachronism about Bill Clinton negotiating the release of the journalists. Good heart warming film, but not a nail biter.
