"Give Me Back My Son!!!"
"Give Me Back My Son"!!,23 October 2005 Author:Bill Presnal from College Station,TX A horrific drama that is endowed of crime and kidnapping.Mel Gibson and Gary Sinise truly steal the show.
The plot concerns the unjust kidnapping of an innocent child.
The quote I wrote,"Give Me Back My Son!",was something Gibson said when he was petulantly arguing with the kidnapper on the phone.
Mel Gibson is delightfully watchable as the tenacious,loving father who is determined to rescue his reluctant son.
Gary Sinise is evilly brilliant as the very wicked and corrupt villain,who desires money even if he has to murder for it.
