I didn't know the story of Daniel going into this and boy was i filled with surprised and disturbing images rodof the senseless brutality of isis. Do yourself a favour, share this movie with your friends because the world needs to know.

Its been a long time since i have been so touched by a movie. The lead actor is excellent and great directing also. Even though its over 2 hours i was sitting on the edge of the chair for the entire movie and would have kept that position if it had lasted an hour more. I really liked to see how the family was trying to deal with the situation and acting accordingly. By the i saw another review in here naming the actor as the negotiator by the wrong name. His name is Anders W- Berthelsen who also co directed the movie. Hats off to Daniel Rye and all the other hostages of Isis. I have the greatest respect for all of them. And RIP to James Foley what a crime he was murdered. I hope all involved in that got their due punishment.

This was a poignant and deeply moving portrait of a family's desperate efforts to rescue their son from the grip of the horrific ISIS regime. I think this was a fitting tribute to the terrible experience Daniel Rye and the other hostages. Highly recommend this film. RIP Jim Foley and all the thousands who were murdered by ISIS.

And I don't say that easily. It's a gem, haunting and human and compassionate. The most touching film I have seen in a long time.

It has been a very long since a movie has touched me this way. A very strong performance by Esben Smed. As a Dane, that doesn't watch many Danish movies - this is an instant classic for me!

Its a movie for grown up adults. Even though its contain some kind of actionscenes, its a drama.
