What to Know

Critics Consensus

Kidnap strays into poorly scripted exploitation too often to take advantage of its pulpy premise -- or the still-impressive talents of its committed star.

Valerie Complex Black Girl Nerds 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. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 15, 2017 Full Review Danielle White Austin Chronicle At just 81 minutes, it's a short shot of adrenaline, exhilarating yet predictable. Rated: 2/5 Aug 10, 2017 Full Review Candice Frederick Hello Beautiful [Kidnap] is wild, unbelievable, yet a ridiculously fun watch. Aug 9, 2017 Full Review Jesse Hassenger SportsAlcohol 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. Rated: D Feb 5, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins While the initial setup isn't bad, the film doesn't really know where to go from there. Rated: 4/10 Dec 5, 2020 Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin Kidnap is the kind of flick destined for the bargain bin. Rated: C Jul 18, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I thoroughly enjoyed this film and hope to be able to watch it again. Kid who gets kidnapped is cute, I also love the soundtrack to this film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Ronald H This one goes on the top 20 Dumbest Movies list. Absolutely cringeworthy. There are so many illogical bits and plot holes, I lost count. I suppose Halle Berry can actually act. I've never followed her. But she's an Oscar-winning big name, and apparently, she is no longer getting good roles. This would be a good movie for a drinking game with friends: Take a drink every time something stupid happens or there's another instance of inept filmmaking. Unfortunately, everybody will be passed out before it's half over. But that a good thing, because nobody will have to watch the rest of it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Bahad j I felt like the characters in this movie could feel the happiness and difficulties that they faced in real life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Bulgantamir B The main character was so cute Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Munkhjargal A In this film, a single mother's nightmare turns into a nightmare when her little son is kidnapped by thieves. With no cell phone and no time to wait for the police, Dyson jumps in his car to follow the car holding Frankie. Carla must risk everything and push herself to the limit to save the child she loves. It was another interesting movie.
