Sworn Justice: Taken Before Christmas – BET+ – 1 hour and 30 minutes
After years of deep cover, Sophie loses her badge after she gets too close to her mark, Nico. She couldn’t shoot Nico, and Nico stabbed her boss, Dave, in the neck. Nico vows to get his revenge from prison. Today, Sophie rides the desk to get her badge back. This year, Sophie has more time to spend with her mother, Laila. Sophie’s sister is overseas on assignment with the military. So, it will give Sophie some time alone with Laila. Laila checks if Sophie will make the Christmas Sunday service tomorrow. And Sophie says yes. She tells Sophie not to fear because the other officer from her house will be there.
Sophie’s computer screen glitches, and she turns it into the IT department. Sophie gets a phone call from her lover, District Attorney Ty. She worries he wants to define the relationship before the holiday. However, it’s a digitized voice on the phone. The caller says they have Ty and will kill him if Sophie doesn’t deliver $5,000 per their instructions. Sophie tries to get tough but hears Ty screaming in the background.
Ty leaves work until he gets a phone call from an unknown caller. They have Sophie, and they will kill her if he doesn’t pay $5,000. And they send a photo of Sophie drugged on a mattress to prove it. Ty must follow their commands to get Sophie back. These two are on a mission to save the other and don’t know it. Will they discover the truth or give in?
This film is something you have to watch from the beginning. There are several moving parts, back-handed dealings, and several bad guys. The fight scenes are well choreographed and use everyday objects to make it believable. It doesn’t take too long for Ty and Sophie to understand their is a bigger plan with more victims. And be prepared for a cliffhanger that will leave some stunned. But fans of the genre will suspect it.
