Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

A brilliant film with a brilliant cast. With a twist around every corner, the film just kept getting more interesting by the minute!

This is a first rate kidnap thriller. Made more intriguing by the fact that the movie seems to advocate that rightness is on the side of the kidnapper.An apparently caring young male with problems including a very sick mother et al decides to kidnap three spoilt brat "entitled" privileged college kids. They are the offspring of three fairly repulsive rich and undeserving businessmen....The kidnapper has accomplices who also have an agenda.This film races along with pace and excitement and in my opinion the acting and production is top notch.Of course there may be some holes in the plot but who cares as this picture is highly entertaining and almost believable; it had me engrossed throughout.8/10.

yes this thriller made ​​me shiver, not because of the film's content, but with the bad portrayal, weak story with bad dialogue that was empty and brain death, these three fathers, who is known for many good movies lift this movie up, not because of their performance, but their name and picture is on DVD cover, it worked and got me to buy this horrible movie. feel cheated of money and a good movie experience. you have been warned.only comfort I found was that poor B movies makes you really appreciate a good A movie and it's probably the only thing that is positive, so because of this, I give 1 star

The main issue that I have with this movie is that it tries to be incredibly smart; when in fact, it skates over a lot of the lose ends that left me feeling Paul would never get away with this crime in the real world. Maybe, 20 or 30 years ago before forensic evidence practices and knowledge of the human psyche were not so abundant among the general population this movie would have looked smart. Hence, this movie tries to portray the idea of a "perfect crime," sadly people who watch any type of crime TV or even crime dramas like CSI, will be shaking their heads.The movie does offer up some plot twists which add an element of intelligence in one sense, yet the movie completely loses that edge with some dumb moves. I cannot state them all here as they would give away too much of the movie and I don't want to do that, but just silly little things negate the idea of this being a masterful crime. However, I will point out a few of these said flaws so people know what I am talking about when they see it. To start with, the accomplices Paul chooses are not shall we say the most stable of people, which will be evident from the beginning. Now the movie works itself around in a way where this becomes a positive for Paul. While I can see the point in Paul picking the individuals he did it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that neither one of his accomplices are stable enough, let alone smart enough to play the roles Paul wants them to play by the end of the movie.In the way of forensic evidence there are even more flaws. Paul's prints are all over the location used, at one point in the movie he even vomits in the toilet... can anyone say DNA? Not to mention, his fingerprints are all over some key pieces of evidence *coughCELLPHONEcoughSHOTGUNcough.* I really wanted to like this movie and there are some smart parts and some good twists but the stupidity of the rest of it is just too much for me. I guess the people who wrote this were hoping the audience would be dumb, or so dazzled by the twists that they wouldn't notice...O_OAs far as the acting goes everyone did a pretty good job. While I am a fan of Victor Garber and his portrayal of Jack from the hit TV serious Alias, this performance here as a father is just too over the top and theatrical for my tastes. Sorry Victor. The rest of the cast holds up well and Kevin Zegers is chilling as Paul, yet his character doesn't quite add up. Around mid movie he gets emotional over something one of his accomplices does, yet he turns around at the end of the movie and does the same exact thing without blinking an eye... mmmmm, is one plus one still two? Overall this is an okay movie to watch if you're bored or like one of the actors in here, but this is not a brilliant movie by any stretch of the means, sadly it tries to be and falls way short.
