Never Let Go

Never Let Go_360P

Amazing story, cast, and direction. Strongly recommend this film. One of the best action films I have seen, loved to see a great actress taking leading action. Lovely, strong and very original ending. Looking forward to more action films from Mr. Howard.

The acting is like in primary school drama class, brainless story, naive plots... most frustrating are racial prejudices... an absolute monstrosity from half-witted director.

This is one of the few movies that my wife and I will remember for a very long time. We watch a LOT of movies, including many stinkers, but we take them for what they are, knowing someone put a lot of work into them. This one caught us by surprise because it kept us riveted to our screen from beginning to end. Sure, like most every movie, there were a couple of implausible moments, but there wasn't time to dwell on them because the excitement never ceased. It left us completely satisfied and entertained. In reading some of the detractors of this movie and many others, it becomes obvious that many people do not know how to enjoy themselves at a movie. They waste their time looking for little things to criticize instead of letting the story take them inside of it and go along for the ride. Other reviewers seem to be trying to look important by making us think they know something about directing or movie making in general, and accuse those who liked the movie of being part of a conspiracy by the producers. Real reviewers don't do that. Meanwhile, there is one misplaced review here, as it mentions Peter Sellers having a part in it. That was a 1960 release of another movie titled Never Let Go.

The acting isn't fabulous, but it's not terrible either. The story line is good, but maybe not put together as well as it could be. The second scene is pretty nebulous. Then, seriously, what mother takes a newborn on vacation into the middle east. Some of the connections are really big jumps. But the action is good and watching a vulnerable, but strong female character kick ass is always fun. There are secondary female characters who kick ass in their own way. In the end it all comes together for a satisfying thrill ride and what's not to love about that.

Terrible acting & crap story. How this film won any awards is beyond me. So stupid.

Like watching a 50 year old lady with a navel ring use karate and get exhausted often while in pursuit? This IS your movie! Could had been an amazing movie, but hey! At least they tried! Over acting. I mean, she sat down to slide 3 ft down a rock and then stood back up to run. Why?

Never Let Go is just brilliant, Angela Dixon's performance is outstanding and brilliantly directed by Henry Ford. Although this was done for a relatively low budget it really is a tour de force and an outstanding film. The suspense was kept up throughout the film and the cinematography is outstanding. The twists and turns in the story kept me on the edge of my seat. Well done guys independent filmmaking at its very best! Sean x

Where to start? Used the 10 sec skip button frequently and didn't use it nearly enough. The lead is ineffective at conveying any true emotion and kills/maims anyone who gets in her way. Suspend your disbelief. No one can stop her. She runs forever barefooted, climbs walls like she's an expert rock climber, pulls 160 lb man out of a car window, jumps 15 feet or so off a building and barely breaks her stride, gets pierced in the side, gouged in the arm and smacked around and would still be able to take on Jason Bourne. Mind you, this is all within a few months of having a bab, too. And we never find out how she can do all this stuff. The "surprise" in the movie - isn't a surprise at all. I had zero invested in what happened. Dumb and boring despite the random, lame, poorly shot action scenes. Just awful and often laughable due to the bad acting.

I was just looking for a film to watch on TV when i came upon this one. I am so happy that i did so! This is by far the most outrageuosly adventurous, exciting, breathtaking film i ever seen!!! And at the end it left me in tears. I don't have much to tell about it, bc this is kinf of the films you watch without talking, breathing, lock up in on the screen. It is just a film everyone should see to understand how much a mother can do to get her child, how she can do all it takes, literally. And a little something extra about what it taught me: I saw that whether in east or west, men are men and they are all rude, emotionless creatures(there are some exceptions but there is an exception to every rule,right)
