Kosdykk yes this thriller made ​​me shiver, not because of the film's content, but with the bad portrayal, weak story with bad dialogue that was empty and brain death, these three fathers, who is known for many good movies lift this movie up, not because of their performance, but their name and picture is on DVD cover, it worked and got me to buy this horrible movie. feel cheated of money and a good movie experience. you have been warned.only comfort I found was that poor B movies makes you really appreciate a good A movie and it's probably the only thing that is positive, so because of this, I give 1 star

scoup Entitled takes your basic movie kidnapping ransom plot and freshens it up through good acting, plot twists and accessibility.Excellent casting. Each actor felt natural in their part and with some restraint to avoid overacting they gel nicely. The first character death is almost welcome due to the annoyance of his behavior.Here's the best part of the movie: As the plot moves along and the viewer watches with anticipation of the stereotypical progression, we are happily dealt nice little twists. No twist is over the top or pushing the limits of belief. A subtle film noir feel is mixed with an everyman identification.I'd like to see another movie like this one...

troy-manatunga Paul, Jenna and unstable Dean are busy in conjuring up a devious plan to make some fast cash. Paul, Jenna and Dean who are not even close to being rich as Jeff, Nick and Hailey manage to kidnap the latter mentioned trio and hold them up for ransom at Nick's dads holiday home in the countryside. Richard, Clifford and Bob the rich business tycoon dads of the victims are taken by surprise when they receive a ransom call about their abducted teenage kids. Richard and Clifford are the only ones around when Paul call them up and make demands for 3 millions USD for the safety of their children. Bob is never punctual. Today his bad habit results in Jenna shooting down his son Jeff. The money transfer would be a walk in the park we think since the families are rich; however this does not turn out to be so. Richard runs short and is unable to fund the cash and neither is Clifford able to help since he uses his cash reserves for his part of the payment of the ransom. Their only hope is Bob who turns up late. Bobs son is already dead; how will he handle this news? Will he help his long time friends? Or will the children suffer the ill fate of death?Canadian director Aaron Woodley does a great job with this script. Although a common plot, a movie that is thoroughly enjoyable if you appreciate the newbie cast with the exception of Ray Liotta and Victor Gaber. Newbie does not necessarily imply that the cast is in their debut production. However it implies that they are not Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet. My passion for Ray Liottas work made me stumble upon this limited budget Canadian production; THE ENTITLED. I am hoping that my piece along with many others who have written on this movie aid her to reach out to viewers who don't watch movies without a star cast. In fact I just did watch a movie with a star cast that was not as entertaining as THE ENTITLED; however she is more widely accepted. What if the cast of THE ENTITLED is interchanged with CONTAGION? Both movies would have made the news. Instead only one does.Woodley's direction and the resources he uses work for him at times and on the other hand do not work at all. The areal angled footage of the drive to the woods, the pleasant scenery and the gloomy lake house sets the perfect tone for the perfect thriller. Kevin Zegers convincing and precision performance that is supported by Devon Bostick all gels in alarmingly well for quite new faces. The veterans across on the end of the forest are equally doing well with Ray Liotta, Victor Gaber & Stephen McHatttie. What Woodley misses is what goes on in between the 2 locations. No pun intended but what Woodleys misses and loses points are the moments in the woods. This sudden drop of the thrills kind of makes one wonder if they should continue with the movie any longer. As much as the finale is a surprising treat the climax to it does need more tweaking and fine tuning. A commercial soundtrack most certainly would win more points in the right direction. Nothing More Nothing LessTitle: The Entitled Directed by: Aaron Woodley Starring: Kevin Zegers, Devon Bostick, Tatiana Maslany, Stephen McHattie, VIctor Gaber & Ray Liotta. Rated: R for language some violence and brief drug use. Rating: 6.5/10

innocuous This is a worthwhile movie. The story is clever, the dialogue is interesting, and the acting is way above average for an indie film. Liotta and McHattie really make the film work and you wish that you could see more of them. Some of the story is telegraphed early in the film, but it still takes a few unforeseen turns. I was reminded of "Brick." The only reason that I didn't give this 8 or 9 stars is that there were a few "clang" moments when things didn't ring true or there seemed to be continuity errors. For example, when one of the main characters, who has been fastidious about wearing gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints, suddenly decides to handle several hard plastic items while he's not wearing gloves and then leaves them at the crime scene. Perhaps he went back to get them, or wiped them clean, but we don't see him do either one and the lack of concern seems startlingly out of place in an otherwise well-planned crime.Give it a try. I think you'll enjoy it.
