The Female Villains Wiki

Gabrielle Riegert, aka Angie (Jacki Weaver), was the hidden main villainess from the 2014 film, Reclaim. She is the head of the International Rescue Adoption agency, which handled the process of American couple Shannon and Steven (the main protagonist) adopting Nina, an orphaned Haitian girl.

However, the agency was a front for a child trafficking operation masterminded by Riegert, who would seek out couples looking to adopt foreign orphans and then kidnap them for monetary gain. Her co-conspirators, Raymond, Salo, and Paola, abducted Nina and held Steven and Shannon captive, and later on, Riegert's reveal as the villainous mastermind came when she was shown (as a blonde; having ditched her brunette wig) on the phone with Raymond regarding their next operation. Riegert had been paid $60,000 at the start, and received an extra $30,000 from Steven in order to adopt Nina quicker.

In the film's climax, the evil Riegert encountered Shannon after she was taken to Riegert's villa by Raymond, who introduced Riegert under the name, Angie. Once there, the villainess engaged in a verbal debate with Raymond over his shares of the money, which prompted Raymond to fire several gunshots at Riegert, killing her instantly.
