Slim Hiller, a hardworking waitress, believes she has found stability when she marries Mitch. The dream cracks when their first child arrives and Mitch reveals a dark, possessive side that twists love into control. Fearful for Gracie’s safety, Slim escapes with her daughter, leaving behind a life that once felt secure. What follows is a tense chase as Mitch mobilizes help and uses intimidation to reclaim the family, turning everyday routines into potential traps. Slim's courage grows as she learns to rely on her wits and, when necessary, to truly trust strangers.

Released in 2002, the drama was directed by Michael Apted and comes from an original screenplay by Nicholas Kazan and Aimee Mann. It uses intimate exchanges and tense close ups to trace a woman's struggle to escape danger and risk.

The film grossed about 51.8 million worldwide on a 38 million budget, making it a modest but solid performer for a dramatic thriller. Its domestic reception helped Jennifer Lopez expand beyond her musical image into screen acting during its run.

The film's unflinching look at domestic abuse and a mother's resolve helped spark conversations about empowerment in thrillers. Lopez's portrayal blends vulnerability with fierce determination, leaving a memory of Slim as a protective mother. Craft elements, including pacing and sound design, reinforce the harrowing atmosphere throughout from start to finish.

Critics noted the tense setup and Lopez's turn as a woman reclaiming agency in the face of coercive power. The movie probes control and fear, the price of leaving, and the resilience needed to protect loved ones. Its straightforward storytelling keeps the focus on character under pressure throughout the arc.
