An enjoyable movie. Halley Berry does an excellent job portraying a frantic mother of a kidnapped son.

This was a very intense and suspenseful flick. Taking place in one day with just the right about of substance. I look at it as a much lighter version of Taken. Don't mess with a momma bear!Check it out if you like.

Luis Prieto's "Kidnap" is mostly a typical kidnapping story, with Halle Berry as a mom stopping at nothing to save her son. The different path that this movie takes is what Berry's character discovers along the way.But that's it. Otherwise, the whole thing was predictable. Not one that I recommend. I hope that Prieto directs better movies in the future.

As an undemanding thriller, I found KIDNAP a lot of fun and a lot better than the reviews I previously read led me to believe. It's one of the many interesting films that Netflix are making themselves today and in the process giving traditional Hollywood films a run for their money. The film stars Halle Berry as a determined mother who snaps into action when her child is kidnapped, forcing her into a cross-country pursuit to rescue him. The structure is a little like a modern-day DUEL, without the same kind of suspense, although there's plenty of momentum to see this one through. I found Berry's acting somewhat limited and histrionic at times, and it doesn't help that the script gives her the dumbest lines to recite, literally spoon-fed "explain the plot" moments. On the plus side, there are nice little turns for Lew Temple and Christopher Berry, both of THE WALKING DEAD, and the cinematography is quite nice, particularly in the many and varied car chase moments.
