Don't listen to the negative reviews

A Masterpiece!

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The acting in this movie is really good.

A wealthy couple, Jaime and Martha, plus their daughter Isobel move into a new house. Soon after moving in a group of men burst in with robbery in mind.Interesting, intriguing, engaging. The plot initially seems similar to Michael Haneke's "Funny Games", but any similarities are only at the most basic plot levels. (By the way, the original (German/Austrian) Funny Games was superb, but the US remake, also directed by Michael Haneke, was crap). Kidnapped has the same uncompromising grit and lack of Hollywood happy ending (a very good thing), that Funny Games had. Good performances all round.

This movie was quite depressing and the family doesn't fight back....The family does everything they say even what they do to the daughter is just disgusting. I think this movie was just horrible. The family gets abused left and right and don't fight back The movie doesn't express the reason they family so called "fights back" is because after the abuse they took they were all going to die anyway so they do what they had to in the end because they lost their minds after the abuse and rape they took. They had the entire movie to fight back yet nothing happened for the whole movie but screaming and yelling and crying and getting abused. The last 15 mins of the movie the family gets tired of being abused and lose their mind because they had too. I felt the only thing relatable in this movie was feeling so horribly sad for the family because we would never want to go through what these people are going through. What a terrible movie, this is only my opinion, but I just couldn't watch this movie ever again. I felt like this whole movie was horrible unless you like these movies of watching families get brutalized and tortured and robbed and raped than please be my guest. Nothing in this whole movie showed fighting back these people in this movie if this was real would all be dead.

When a group of thugs break into a mansion in a gated community and begin terrorizing a family, it begins a night of slaughter and violence as they wage a desperate fight for survival against the madmen and their nefarious plans.This one here wasn't all that bad and actually has a lot going for it when it wants to be. One of it's many pluses is that this is quite brutal and unrelenting at times, especially in the way the family fights back at the end which is some of the most brutal carnage inflicted in this type of film. There's no shortage of blood splattered throughout the rest of the film either, and it makes the end all the more vindictive of what's transpired beforehand. That said, there's still some problems here, mainly in that the criminals aren't really given a motive at all, they just show up at the house and begin getting the money, which is terrifying in real life but still doesn't offer up any kind of explanation as to what's going on or why they're there. As well, because the middle section doesn't have a whole lot of action or attempts on the family it''s just endlessly boring as they just drive around acting tough but getting nothing accomplished. It's not that exciting and makes the film feel really padded during these times, but overall it's got enough elsewhere to really get this quite enjoyable.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language.

I have a very limited review of this movie, which might actually be pretty good if you can get past the stupid, asinine, constant shrieking/breathing/screaming/panting of the daughter throughout the entire film. I'm at the 1:10:10 mark right now in another window and I'm thinking to myself, "If somebody doesn't kill this annoying bitch in the next minute or so I'M going to kill her..." Rape her? Really? Shoot her!!!!!!! Sorry, but really...she's done nothing but "AHH! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ohh! Ohh! Ohh! Ahh! AHH!" for the last 20 minutes and my nerves can only take so much. Okay, I have to have 10 lines here, so here goes: the movie's not bad but it's nothing special. Standard housebreaking, take the husband away, threaten the wife and daughter. But that god dam panting lunacy by the daughter is more than I can bear.
