Leave your thoughts about Kidnapped.
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerThere's likely an audience for this sort of paranoid simulated snuff where enjoying the pain of others is key. But in a world now where gleeful heads of state boast giddily how they've bombed or executed anonymous victims into oblivion, is it any wonder. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressKidnapped proves to be the rule and the exception as writer/director Miguel Ángel Vivas has a few tricks up his sleeves on the fringes of the same old ones. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirMy eyes never left the screen and my attention never wandered; in a restricted, technical sense of the term, Kidnapped is a masterpiece. But I make no claims for its moral value or for any cathartic or redemptive qualities. |
| Shockya.comPerri NemiroffImpossible to recommend for who'd actually want to go through such an experience? If that's your thing, it's everything you'd want, but for the rest, it's tough to get through. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanMore a grim, crafty exercise rather than anything deeper, but it still delivers the desired impact. |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonThe long takes and lack of theatrical affect are presumably meant to heighten the realism by dispensing with film - fiction artifice, but in the process, everything that might lure a viewer - the seduction of style and plot or an engagement with characters - is forgotten. |
| Film.comWilliam GossSurvival horror has rarely been approached so sparingly and yet, for all there is to admire... the initial sense of potential suspense gives way to the creeping contempt of familiarity. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanVivas, by generally refusing to cut, imbues Kidnapped with more gory details than the average thriller. The narrative cost at which this verisimilitude comes, however, seems a touch too high. |
| Dork ShelfShelagh Rowan-LeggVivas has created a tense, nail-biting thriller that rarely lets its audience down. |
| What CultureShaun MunroPlenty diverting from a stylistic perspective, but the story behind the flair is positively stone-age. |
