The son of a wealthy presidential candidate has just been kidnapped. The kidnappers are demanding a hefty ransom. Doc and Zoe are two amateur gangsters -- and soccer freaks -- who must deliver the young man to their ruthless boss. Impulsive Zoe accidentally kills the candidate's son. Faced with a terrible fate for killing their hostage, Doc and Zoe stumble upon Patrick and his nine-month-pregnant wife, Laura. The young couple must, at all costs, catch a flight out of Haiti to give birth in the US to get citizenship for their baby. Patrick's great misfortune is that he looks exactly like the senator's dead son. In the midst of a heated election and a Barça-Real classico match, Doc and Zoe find themselves at the center of a political conspiracy.

This outrageous farce had greater potential than what is currently realized on screen.

Carlos Aguilar

Variety

On paper, the idea to address social inequality and the corrosion of institutions by way of a potentially crowd-pleasing work of entertainment is sound, even daring, and that’s why the fact that the film’s many elements don’t amalgamate is a shame.

Abe Friedtanzer

Cinema Daily US

Manages to navigate the tricky space between paying tribute to a disturbing phenomenon in Haiti and sending it up, merging those two radically different approaches to make something that, against all odds, is both great fun and isn’t easy to shake.

Rated: B+

Screen Zealots

An over-the-top caper filled with fast-paced violence, colorful characters, blazing originality, and irreverent charm.

Film Inquiry

Kidnapping Inc. is a fierce introduction to Mourral’s work, and I can only imagine the trajectory of his career from here. This film is a style all its own, with a message that reverberates in every frame.
