Carl J Twisted Visions Starting with this film, what I liked about it was the idea of mystery, doubt, and suspicion surrounding all the characters. I mean, seriously, look at the course of the film. We doubted Sarah's mother, played by the beautiful and amazing actress Ruby, as well as her father, her friends, and her ex-fiancé. We doubted the close ones, the distant ones, the strangers, and the workers. Oh my god, the level of suspicion was terrifying. Let me tell you that we doubted everyone except one person, her husband, who made every effort throughout the film to save his wife. However, the strong surprise at the end was that her husband was the killer and the kidnapper. The ending revealed that he was the thief who cunningly stole the ransom money, managing to escape the police who surrounded him well. To be honest, the mechanism by which Sherif, the husband, carried out all of this was not clarified, and I consider this a shortcoming in the writing and directing. I see it as a deception and a mockery of the viewer's intelligence. I also want to mention the presence of a ridiculous deception of the audience. An example of this is when Sherif went to borrow money from his accomplice in this crime, Nancy, and what was the motive for borrowing the money? Yes, of course, to pay the ransom. LOL! She refused to give him the amount despite his deep sadness and his explanation of his concern for his wife, whom he and Nancy themselves kidnapped. LOOOOOL! How funny it was to know that they were behind this crime and yet they were trying to fool themselves by pretending to save poor Sarah from the evil kidnappers. It was a clear flaw and shortcoming in the story and plot. I also want to point out the character of the police officer, who is best described as foolish and stupid. He pretends to understand everything, but in reality, he doesn't understand anything and doesn't contribute any positive results or progress to the kidnapping case. All he does is try to interrogate everyone and ask them about everything except the only relevant issue to his case, which is Sarah's abduction.
