They hire Helen Schriver from the agency to babysit Sophie for the night. On the drive to Diane, mysterious Tom Ryan Pierce Brosnan comes out of the backseat with a gun and news that Helen has already kidnapped their child.
He starts telling them what to do like withdrawing all their cash but he throws it all into the river. He tells them to do what they're told for 24 hours and they'll have their girl back. There is a lot of unnecessary breathlessness and yelling overacting. It's all intended to raise the tension, but it's too much of a movie thing. Gerard Butler is pushing too hard. His energy diffuses the tension rather than raise it. Quiet anger would be so much more effective.
Pierce Brosnan and Maria Bello are a little better.

He does menace well and she's the loving wife. This has the potential for a good 3-person morality play, but director Mike Barker works overtime to pump up the artificial thrills. I was interested in the mystery of the true nature of the story, but I didn't particularly care about the people. The twist ending is fine but it needed a few more breadcrumbs laid out along the way. More hints about the ending would have made the ending more compelling.

The less you know of this film Every now and then: the huge Hollywood-engine creates a small and simple film that turns out to be far superior than any gigantic blockbuster made that year. It doesn't feature amazing explosions or overwhelming car chases or anything of that kind. It has marvelous actors playing colorful characters in a gripping storyline. These are only the very basic elements but this film uses them wisely.
Unlike most thrillers however, this one doesn't take an awful lot of time to set the mood but moves at a high pace. The split-second where this movie instantly changes from a soft-drama to a razor-sharp thriller is absolutely gorgeous And from that moment forth we have ourselves a nail-biting ride which'll keep you firmly on the edge of your seat until the very end. On top of that: this movie's great twist ending beautifully blurs the line between good and evil.
Pierce Brosnan has already proved to be much more than and continues to do so here. And Gerard Butler has fought side by side with Lara Croft and of the bravest Greeks, but now this Scottish actor takes a break from this senseless violence and plays a more fragile role.

In short: "Butterfly on a wheel" is an intelligent cat-and-mouse-game that steadily becomes a first-rate thriller. Good film. Solid performances. Twist ending. CuddlesMacombs Jul 28, Permalink. Lots of holes but somehow entertaining. Not quite Ransom. A normal married couple's life Gerard Butler and Maria Bello is thrown into turmoil when their daughter is kidnapped and the kidnapper Pierce Brosnan put's them through a series of brutal challenges and horrible experience, threatening to kill their daughter if they don't pass every challenge.
