_**A Chicago couple goes from paradise to hell in Puerto Rico**_
A well-to-do couple from Chicago (Ryan Phillippe & Rachelle Lefevre) travels to San Juan to adopt an orphaned girl after the earthquake in Haiti. Everything is going fine while they wait for the girl’s papers to be finalized, but then all hell breaks loose. John Cusack plays a friendly neighbor while Luis Guzmán is on hand as a police chief.
“Reclaim” (2014) is a drama that turns into crime thriller and jungle adventure (sort of) highlighted by the lush Puerto Rican locations, a quality cast and an increasingly compelling story. Cusack’s performance alone is worth the price of admission. Critics complain about some clichés or problematic parts, like the cliff sequence and the girl with the gun, but it otherwise delivers the goods for this type of movie.
The film runs 1 hour, 36 minutes, and was shot in Puerto Rico.
