Carla Hay Culture Mix Octopus With Broken Arms has plenty of suspenseful action, but it has too many far-fetched plot twists. The melodramatic overacting looks too fake and does a disservice to the film's serious subject matter of children who are kidnapped and enslaved. Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania A competently made, though overwhelmingly labyrinthine kidnapping thriller. Rated: 3/5 Jan 2, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Bob E Complex plot well executed. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Ben W Good watch. Interesting premise. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Rickie J I thoroughly enjoyed this movie; it had twist after twist and was worth watching until the very last scene. If it weren’t for the 90-minute drive to the theater, I would go again tomorrow to watch it once more and look for details I missed the first time. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
