Do You Know Me

a review by Wuchak

Ridiculously convoluted crime thriller in the Great Northwest with Rachelle LeFevre

Some college friends in Seattle think one of them (LeFevre) resembles the image of a girl on a milk carton, so she calls the hotline and starts to suspect that her ‘parents’ have been lying to her all her life. Jeremy London is on hand as a DEA agent.

“Do You Know Me?” (2009) starts out with promise, but becomes so contrived and complicated, it’s eye-rolling. The locations are good, there’s a lot of chase action, and Rachelle is an attractive protagonist (who wears the same purple pants for practically the entire runtime). Otherwise, this is a letdown due to laughable scriptwriting.

The film runs 1 hour, 29 minutes, and was shot in Vancouver and Surrey, which is across the Fraser River; establishing shots were done in nearby White Rock, as well as San Francisco.

GRADE: C-/D+
