Storyline: The Oscar-winning actress Renée Zellweger plays Emily Jenkins, a social worker whose attempts to save a young girl from abuse turns out to be a dreadful misconception.
Emily Jenkins comes across a case of child abuse by the Sullivans and decides to pay them a visit. After having made some sort of conversation with the psycho household, Emily is convinced that there is something worrisome about this case but she does not have enough evidence to prove her point. The same night she takes Detective Mike Barron (Ian McShane) into confidence and goes to check on the Sullivans’. There she finds Margaret and Edward Sullivan trying to cook their daughter in an oven. She takes parental custody of Lillith and the Sullivans are sent to a rehab center for the mentally challenged.
Soon enough, Emily is surrounded by tragic deaths of her loved ones which include Detective Mike Barron and Douglas J. Ames (Bradley Cooper). With Lillith’s behaviour overtly suspicious, Emily visits the deserted Sullivan household only to realize that the psychotic Sullivans were actually trying to do everyone a favor by cooking her for dinner!
Climax Handling: What climax??
Points: Bradley Cooper is wasted in the movie. The whole movie is a royal waste of time. Watch The Orphan instead.
Rating: 4/10
Comments: The tag line says it all – Some cases should never be opened. Definitely don’t open this one.
