There is a great story line under this too violent portrayal of the kidnapping of two young girls. The torture of a suspect was gratuitous and decreased the credibility of the film and the parents. I am a huge Melissa Leo fan and did…

I've seen a lot of speeding car scenes in movies but none made me grip the sides of my seat. I was riding in that car with the little girl and Gyllenhaal. This movie is not for the faint of heart. There were times I had to turn away. Times…

One of the best suspenseful thrillers I've ever enjoyed it was fantastic I mean had me on the edge of my seat. Watching this film you will not be disappointed

After a slow start, it got pretty darn good. (It starts like a cheesy horror movie--which it is not.) The acting is good, the characters are good, the story is well written because even at the end you are really sure if the family still…

Pretty good! Suspenseful. The villains not fully revealed until the end. Never saw it coming. I disliked certain aspects of it. But, I will give it a solid 4 stars.

When his career is all said and done; this will be Denis Villeneuve’s most underrated film.

This is a very dark thriller that I wish I had never seen!
With a promising cast, the story started well, but deteriorated as it went along!
While some scenes were good, others were overdone, and, yet, others were completely…

Really liked this one. Came for the director, because I loved Arrival, stayed because of the actors and the fact that this movie managed to surprise me.

I did not like this movie. Good actors are totally wasted on this. Extreme violence, much too long even though I fast fwd through several of the violent scenes. I did not find the police believable, they turned a blind eye to the…

Entire production seemed fake, none of the parents acted logically and typically Hollywood ignores reality. Most people are aware that in the case of a kidnapping the FBI will take the lead in the investigation-they are absent in this…

Thanks to Roger Deakins’ Oscar-nominated cinematography Denis Villeneuve’s moody whodunnit at least looks good with leaden skies hailing down sleet and wisps of ice fog drifting through a leafless forest. Unfortunately it all falls apart…

Hugh Jackman is still in his high masculine misery. I hope a hot detective like Jake Gyllenhaal relentlessly looks for me if I go missing. Good acting but not enjoyable.

Are you kidding!?! Absolutely terrible, absurd script. Characters were completely unbelievable. And there are countless unrealistic scenes. (e.g. cops do NOT go into interrogation rooms with guns [guess why...], NO ONE [especially the…

The movie was really long. There were some parts it could have done without and still kept to the twists and turns of the plot line, but all in all it was a good movie. This weekend I watched KIDNAP with Halle Berry and then this. Had…
