Kidnap

For an entire 84 minutes, I sat in the theater wondering why she decided to participate in this. I guess if for nothing else, it was good to see the actress doing something.

At just 81 minutes, it's a short shot of adrenaline, exhilarating yet predictable.

[Kidnap] is wild, unbelievable, yet a ridiculously fun watch.

Berry knows how to seize the center spot and hold on tight. In Kidnap, she gets quite an exhausting workout, and so does the audience.

Aggressively stupid Kidnap is a passable B-movie exploitation throwback.

Kidnap may strain plausibility, but it's no more absurd than Taken, and it's a kick to watch Karla, a woman with no particular set of skills, become a capable warrior based on pure maternal ferocity.

…an example of the predicament story, thriller sthat involves a single hard-drivin’ situation&#59; Kidnap is a neat little B movie that fits into that highway horror genre alongside Duel, Night of the Jugger, Breakdown, Speed, The Getaway, Unhinged and more…

This premise is pure exploitation - or rather, it aspires to pure exploitation. Pure exploitation would be welcome in place of Kidnap, which is too vastly stupid to even exploit properly.

While the initial setup isn't bad, the film doesn't really know where to go from there.

Kidnap is the kind of flick destined for the bargain bin.
