Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Starting as a coldly realistic thriller, this film eventually loses its bearings as the director Miguel Angel Vivas succumbs to a fit of nihilism, transforming "Kidnapped" into gruesome tit-for-tat torture porn.
Rotten: Gripping but grueling, this Spanish debut feature scores on technical prowess but its nihilistic viciousness is hard to take.
Rotten: As most of Kidnapped is devoted to watching people in extreme duress, leaving room for little else, it follows that the film exists solely to be "intense."
Rotten: Survival horror has rarely been approached so sparingly and yet, for all there is to admire... the initial sense of potential suspense gives way to the creeping contempt of familiarity.
Customer Reviews
Dubbing or not...
Okay look, I normally hate watching dubbed films. In fact I normally wont TOUCH a dubbed film. (Because yes! Things do get lost in translation.) But dubbed or not, this movie was great. Get past the fact that its dubbed. It's crazy! It's great! Give it a shot!
Not a horror flick. It's a Gore, Suspense, Thriller flick.
I would say rent it before you buy it. Or wait for the original to come up here, and hope they put the subtitles in. Either way I think this film is one of the better films of 2011.
why the dubbing?
When a movie is dubbed, sometimes so much is lost by the uses of voices that don't match the face or the inflections of speech that don't match the actions, that it makes the movies unwatchable. This looks like that kind of movie and I would not watch it just because of that. It remindes me of the old Kung-Fu movies where the dialog stopped and their mouths kept moving. The story is about the home invasions that use to be common of in the south of Spain, but I would rather see it subtitled. People who like international films prefer hearing the original and reading the translation. Folks that like dubbed movies won't like this movie anyway.
