Not without my daughter (1991)

Director: Brian Gilbert

Starring: Sally Field, Alfred Molina

An American woman, trapped in Islamic Iran by her brutish husband, must find a way to escape with her daughter as well.

Wow, this was an eye-opener. Really good script with a solid performance by Alfred Molina. I didn’t find Sally Field strong enough for the role, although she wasn’t all that bad either. I was so anxious during some scenes rooting for Betty (Sally Field) hoping she can finally escape. Based on a true story, it is nerve wrecking to think there are women trapped in similar situations, and how horrible it must be for them coming from a free world. I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
