Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubins Story

It’s ever mother’s nightmare. When her ex-husband asks to bring his son to Disney World for a bonding vacation, Tiffany Rubin (Taraji P. Henson) reluctantly agrees. When she finds out that her ex lied to her and instead of going to Florida actually took her son back to his homeland of South Korea, Tiffany springs into action to get her boy back. Directed by Gary Harvey, the movie has plenty of tense moments, but never really plays itself out to be an adventure film. It’s a straightforward drama about the lengths one mother is willing to go to to make sure her son is safe, even if it means taking on both the US and South Korean governments. And Henson is brillant in making it come to life.
