The Premise: A mother (Halle Berry) will go to any lengths to rescue her kidnapped son. 

Why It Looks Awful: It's basically Taken... with a female lead. Also, it comes from a first-time writer, doesn't feature any other actors worth mentioning, and is part of Relativity Media's last-ditch effort to survive after declaring bankruptcy last year. 

So expect it to be super-safe, super-cynical and super-generic for a lowest-common denominator audience.

Why It'll Make A Profit: Because the Taken movies made a ton of money for one, and secondly, because Berry's last similarly-themed thriller, 2013's The Call, made five-times its budget worldwide. 

Berry may be struggling to find good work outside of the X-Men franchise, but in terms of box office, she's still doing just fine.
