Review of Kidnapped

Kidnapped (2010)
6/10
Family troubles
23 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Here's a vicious, violent. bloody tale with no redeeming social value whatsoever. A well-to-do couple with a teenage

daughter have moved in to beautiful new home in suburban Spain. A typical family drama at the start, things turn nasty

quite soon when three ski masked intruders break in.

The slap happy criminals demand credit card pin numbers and one of them rides to an atm with the dad for some easy cash. All the while mother and daughter endure the sadistic nature of the other two bad guys. By the end of all the mayhem

which includes a beginning doesn't seem to be related to the rest of the story and is never explained satisfactorily.

The acting is fine, with the villains sufficiently evil, and a split screen is used at times by the director. The ending

is somewhat surprising and I would rate this as a passable crime drama for viewers not expecting a Disney feature.
