   Not at all what I was expecting, which was a plus. Perhaps the only truly unnerving experience I had was toward the end, when

   the kidnapper

   goes on a rant about how "the system is broken" and the plight of

   disadvantaged children growing up in poverty

   ... I understand that this is supposed to be filmmaker's attempt at making the "villain" a bit more sympathetic while at the same time not shying away from the pretty horrible things they've done, making the justification a bit hypocritical. Still, on some level, it feels as though the filmmaker wants to make some sort of political comment, but justifying

   the abduction and trafficking of children

   is going to be a hard sell no matter how talented a storyteller you are. 11 years 7 months ago

   Definitely unpredictable and uninterruptedly exciting. Beautifully shot at times. But I do not really grasp the motive for everything, something logically lacks...! :O 5 years ago

   Well shot, with some decent atmosphere and performances, but is too slow and uninvolving, and further is undermined but a succession of twists which reatroactively cause the character's actions make no sense, and rather than shock just feel insulting. 10 years 11 months ago
