What's missing from Kidnapped is a grander context - or richer subtext - to all the terror. Read full review

The result is a stylishly executed but punishing ultra-realistic thriller that might be classified as family torture porn. Read full review

My eyes never left the screen and my attention never wandered; in a restricted, technical sense of the term, Kidnapped is a masterpiece. But I make no claims for its moral value or for any cathartic or redemptive qualities. Read full review

A technically proficient and aggressively unpleasant suspenser about sadistic home invaders. Read full review

Some kind of napping for sure: The line between rigor and tedium is crossed in this Madrid-set home-invasion thriller, captured in a dozen or so claustrophobic shots but impoverished as a piece of drama. Read full review

The long takes and lack of theatrical affect are presumably meant to heighten the realism by dispensing with film - fiction artifice, but in the process, everything that might lure a viewer - the seduction of style and plot or an engagement with characters - is forgotten. Read full review

Starting as a coldly realistic thriller, this film eventually loses its bearings as the director Miguel Ángel Vivas succumbs to a fit of nihilism, transforming Kidnapped into gruesome tit-for-tat torture porn. Read full review

I think it largely had to do with the fact that the copy I had was like dubbed in English so the voices and emotions didn't match and it made it sound horrible and unbelievable. I have seen many home invasion movies like it in fact I'm not 100% sure why they went with the title "Kidnapped."I think it largely had to do with the fact that the copy I had was like dubbed in English so the voices and emotions didn't match and it made it sound horrible and unbelievable. I have seen many home invasion movies like it in fact I'm not 100% sure why they went with the title "Kidnapped." when it wasn't really anything to do with kidnapping. The ending was brutal in the way a horror movie should be, so I have to give it props there. meh.… Expand

This is the same as Irreversible but gone wrong. If the first one was morbid I don't know how to define this one. Irreversible at least had some positive moments that this one lacks everywhere. This kind of things have to be treated with care and they shouldn't be used to cause impact unlessThis is the same as Irreversible but gone wrong.
