I wish i'd read the reviews before spending time of my life watching this... So so bad .. dont know if to cry og laugh
... View MoreThe movie was not too bad, but I feel like there should be more to it than car chasing and crashing.
... View MoreThink of every dumb, panicked, thoughtless thing that movie women do. Now put them all in one movie. You just wrote 'Kidnap'. It's not that often that a movie makes me angry. I'm pretty inured at this point of the ways movies can make women seem the stupid sex. And Halle Berry, though a beautiful woman, has made some stinkers. But this one hits a new low.Let's do a brief rundown:This woman is supposed to love her child, but seems incapable of acting in the child's best interest. Has a chance to stop the mustang before the highway, but bails. Has a clear shot to run down the the main kidnapper? Stops. She can't seem to grab a clue with either hand. Talks to herself...and even then she's clueless. She screams and panicked at EVERY opportunity. She throws her hands around like she's catching her child who's 20 feet away. Or to stop a car in motion. Or general panic. (Maybe she's trying to hail a cab?) When she finally gets to the police, she immediately does what? Panicks, of course. (But the writers wants this stupidity to continue, so it's the right course (let's ignore reality)). Halle gets all these angry expressions on her face, but still acts like a church mouse. Well, a church mouse with a bloody face, but clean hands and body? She kills one kidnapper through fluke. Right through to the the very contrived ending (where she pulls a woman who is 3 x her weight and drowns her-she must have been unconscious, because the drownee never fights back. (That would actually be murder, if this was a real case. Regardless of circumstances, you are not allowed to kill unconscious or incapacitated people, sorry.) The 'vicious killer dog' just vanishes (I might have rolled ) and the last accomplice is an easy takedown after he lays down his shotgun and makes a mental mistake (Which Halle's character immediately gets, even though she's been a panicked idiot through the whole movie. Oh, and this is an international child smuggling ring solved single-handedly by a panicked housewife. Why do we need police?Yes, that was some very heavy sarcasm. This movie SUCKED.
... View MoreI like Halle Berry, but I couldn't sit through one more second of this stupidity at about the 10 minute point of this movie while watching an incompetent, useless, shrieking hysterical woman do nothing right to stop the car carrying away her kidnapped child.It's just way, WAY to painful to sit screaming at the screen while watching an ineffectual twit who can't drive and makes stupid mistake after stupid mistake - starting with dropping her phone - so then she's helplessly yelling at cars beside her to call the cops while she chases the bad guys.I'm sorry guys - this junk MIGHT get better after this - but I can't sit through watching a frantic woman act like an idiot while her child is being taken.
