Indomina Releasing
Directed by Bart Layton
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Netflix)
A teenager in Spain manages to convince the police, the American embassy and a family in Texas that he is their long missing son. He gets an American passport and is returned to the family who accepts him as their son, even though he is older, speaks with an accent and looks nothing like him. A persistent FBI agent and private investigator eventually expose him. The plot would be ludicrous if it wasn't based on a true story. It's presented in a confusing manner as part documentary, part re-enactment, that makes it feel like one of those cheap productions for cable TV.
