Kidnap

very good script, watchable from start to finish my rating it's 8/10

Typical of an American movie where the most important emphasis is put on car chasing and people who have at least, like a cat, SEVEN lives. Come on!......please.... I fail to understand why Hale would accept playing in such a movie. She definitely has the talent to play in a much better and significant movie. Sorry!!!

Halle's acting was superb, she really carried the intensity of the moment throughout. yes it should've been a little bit shorter but for this kind of movie I was entertained and on the edge of my seat for the most part. Oh and as someone who always forgets to charge my phone It didn't take suspension of belief for me to go along with how much trouble you can get into by not having a dang phone on you. I felt the morale of the film really is that you have to fight for your own, no one will care as much as you do.

This was so bad that I logged into IMDb to learn who was responsible for this rubbish posing as a movie. It was Luis Prieto and I will make very sure that I never bother with anything that he is associated with in the future. Beginning with the ludicrously over-long series of images of babies that bored me and imagine many others, it morphed into rambling and unnecessary nonsense that added nothing to the plot. I suffered through another thirty minutes or so hoping for improvement then turned the movie off in disgust. It lacks coherence, logic, a basic plot, and skill with imagery. BORING INANE BANAL are descriptors that jump to mind.

What does it take to make a good thriller? Suspense, to feel the tension, to give you the chills. And this movie did that in the right way! Don't get influenced by subjective people who walked of the movie after the first 10 minutes! If you love good flicks that give you goosebumps and mainly love thrillers, this is the perfect movie for you. Watching the trailer I was expecting mediocre movie, but what I got was way above that. It reminded me of another Halle Berry's thriller - The Call from 2013 which was very good too. I can't say it's a perfect film, it has it's flaws. There is only one "what happened to that" moment. You know, when some questions aren't answered, but it wasn't that big of a deal at all. Halle Berry's stellar and compelling performance definitely sells the character of a suffering mother trying to safe her kid's life. The other actors did pretty good job too. The film pushes the right buttons to make you feel the suspense in the whole run time. It surely deserves 10/10!

How this movie received 6.4 stars is beyond me The trailer looked awesome, as usual they show you the good bits, Halle Berry's acting is really substandard, anyone in there right mind would not have acted in the same way she did. The car chase scenes are very disappointing, the director should have put a little more thought into the acting, car chases and story line. The movie left me feeling really frustrated with majority of her actions, the last time i felt this way was after watching Jeepers Creepers. Lets do all the wrong things for the sake of it to make an entertaining movie 1 star - utter garbage

I saw this because I like Halley Berry movies and figured that this would be another good movie. I was horribly wrong. The plot has too many holes and makes no sense whatsoever. After many miles of "chasing" the kidnappers she finally thinks to ram into them once her van is almost out of gas? Did she think to do this when they were stuck in traffic or while surrounded by cars on the highway? Or maybe when there was a cop following her? Nope, she waits until they are on a deserted road. When the kidnapper comes after her with a shotgun, where does the genius hide? In her mini van with wrap around windows. Good thing the bad guy decides not to shoot out the glass and shoot her. Finally we get near the end of this horrible movie and the woman kidnapper sicks a dog on the Halley Berry and her kid. Somehow after killing the kidnapper the dog mysteriously disappears and never shows up again. Possibly the dog was as board with this movie as the audience and simply gave up to do something better. These are not the only horrible parts of the movie, but the most glaring. It's an hour and half of my life that I wish that I could get back. Do not be fooled by the positive reviews, this is a horrible movie and should be skipped.

I think Halle Berry did great in Kidnap. The movie will have you on the edge of your seat and trust me there is never a dull moment. Plus the movie is not predictable so that's a plus! Don't Listen to all the kidnap haters and not watch the movie. I think you should watch the movie and judge for yourself whether it is a good movie or not. People have different opinions and you might actually like the movie. Just Give It A Chance!!!!!

First of all, I saw Kidnap at a sneakpreview in The Netherlands. This means nobody knows which movie title they are going to see and you get a very diverse audience. The thing I noticed while filling out my rating form was that my form was the 9th one with a 1 filled in. Oké, the movie. It's bad most of the movie is a car chase at "high" speed :-) The car of the main character even gets overtaken by 2 trucks/lorries. The main character gets about a 1000 different possibilities to stop the car witth her son in it in front of others but never does. Somehow she does find it important to take off her sweater during the chase (if I would do that in that situation I would crash:) But enough about this movie, I want to forget I ever saw it. Be warned, stay away! Ps.. There is a reason why you don't hear allot about Halle Berry anymore.... (bad acting could be one)
