worst movie ever
this movie was crap...that is about all i can say.
and a TWIST ending? there was no twist to be found here...it was crap, plain and simple.
well...erm.you came here looking for what?
1.a debate to prove to you in the end that you are wrong
2.just the classic one-liner "you're an idiot"
choose.i can do either one
tell me what was good about this movie...i dont want to hear performances, because thats a *beep* answer...tell me what about this movie should make someone like it.
do that and you can call me an idiot.
i dont get on the boards and diss many movies, but this one was an hour and a half wasted.
well i cannot tell you why should someone like the movie.to each his own.this movie isn't a great one but it's a decent way to spend an hour and a half. have in mind though that this is not a movie about a kidnapping.it's a study of characters, that under a frightening experience, get in touch with their true emotions and do some order in their lives and on the other hand it's about the never ending battle between social classes.i know it may sound corny but it was a pretty original aproach because while most movies focus on the action part of the kidnapping this one focused on dialogue and feelings.granted, about 10-15 minutes in the middle of the movie feel like an hour and go on very slowly but like i said, it wasn't a great movie, just an ok way to spend an hour and a half.
6.1 is a good rating for it.
there you go.and not a single word about the performances.
The movie was the perfect picture of anti-climatic. For much of the film I was on my seat's edge. I was guessing that the time difference was there, but my wife kept telling me she wasn't so sure. She had this idea that the killers were somehow faking some of the things that were being sent. In any event, she was on her seat's edge. Both of us sitting there on the edge of our theater seating (living room) while the music dripped of suspense. Then... nothing. The only release was what you thought all along. He was going to die and it was a sham conjured up by one captor. Wow. Hehe. That's anti-climatic folks. No climax of emotions as something happens to bring light to the suspense. What's the mystery when every indication was given as to the truth.
The acting was stellar but you can watch a multitude of other films to discover all three of these actors are good.
well, i can understand your upset.the thing about this movie is that it depends a lot on what you're expecting when you go to see it.and that's it's biggest problem.
shareI was expecting this movie to be an "edge of your seat thriller," but instead, it was slow, boring, and it didn't really make any sense. And where was the emotion in the characters, especially the wife? I was very disappointed with this movie, and I agree that it was a waste of time.
shareFor a character study movie, they sure picked boring characters. Really, they were trite and predictable. Rich guy gets kidnapped by guy down on his luck. Rich wife discovers rich husband was still having a relationship with his former mistress / secretary. Big surprise, and that sub-plot went nowhere. I'm failing to see the character study in the movie. We never learn anyone's motivations or see any character growth.
