Over deze film

Over the past five years Europe has imported, from countries like Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico, a style of abduction known as an express kidnap. These abductions don’t usually last more than one day and are characterised by violence. Each year in Europe there are 3,000,000 home raids, one every 10 seconds. In over thirty percent of cases, the family is at home when the raid occurs. The fusion of these two crimes has resulted in a new form of criminal assault in which the robbers not only ransack the houses they break into but also kidnap the family for short periods of time. Family members are then forced to hand over as much money as possible to the assailants. On very few occasions do such attacks end without serious injury. Kidnapped is the story of one of these attacks.

Beoordelingen en reviews

In the end I only prayed the horrid whimpering sounds would stop. brutal. pointless. vile. I rented it because of the many good reviews, but was really really disappointed. If you like mindless violence, there are much more poignant movies, if you don't, you will just have regrets. Buy yourself a nice coffee or beer instead.

This is such a good horror movie, I've rented it twice now - waiting for it to be available to buy. It reminds me of the original Funny Game's, well worth a look.

OK brutal European psychological thriller. Spanish with subtitles. Released 2010 originally entitled Secuestrados.
