There are no real feelings on screen and this is why this was never going to be the summer blockbuster that it wanted.Īnother incredibly annoying thing here is the attention to little details that absolutely doesn’t pay off for the viewers. It fails miserably at doing this because there is nothing here besides choreographed pain. That takes all the fun out of the movie, because you literally feel that it is huffing and puffing in order to impress you. Even the emotions of the main character seem forced and it’s like she tries to act dramatic on purpose. Nothing happens out of the blue, everything seems programed and thus forced.

Boring as hell because everything is so obvious, there is no god damn tension anywhere.
Jason winston george in kidnap as deputy sheriff movie#
The big thing about this movie is that it is boring. Hugely disappointed by the performances from Halle Berry, Sage Correa, Chris McGinn, Lew Temple, Jason Winston George, Christopher Berry, Aaron Shiver, Kurtis Bedfor and Carmela Riley. I ended up not caring at all about anything that was happening and that was mainly because every single actor was overacting in the cringiest way possible. You don’t care about anybody, the mother and the child have no sort of connection, the villains are bland as porridge and everything makes you want the movie to be over sooner. There is no development here, none at all, despite some feeble attempts in the beginning of the movie. Speaking of clichés, the characters are all clichés, right to the last extra. Halle Berry was supposed to be the badass female version of Liam Neeson but instead she ends up being just overdramatic and clichéd to the core. But unfortunately, after the car chase that is nicely done and has raw emotions in it, the film devolves into a pitch black dark fight with guns and shovels and phone calls to 911, thus becoming nothing more than a copy paste of stupidity. I mean the idea that a mother would initiate a car chase after the abductors of their child is actually something that has not been used so many times before. The story is the one thing that could have saved this movie, because it is sort of interesting, it has that element of surprise that is usually enough to make movies engaging. I do not recommend this one because you will simply waste your time watching 91 minutes of boring and predictable derivative abduction thriller. It could have been a good film but it ends up being a huge waste of time for the viewer. There was something here, it could have been entertaining, it could have even been good, but no, they chose to weigh it all down with unnecessary dramatization and with overacting that actually hurt my eyes. Meh, simply meh… Kidnap is a meh movie that chose to suck on so many levels it becomes actually infuriating, especially towards the end.
