Entführung ohne Gnade

No, wait - it IS a train wreck. Did ANYBODY view this thing before releasing it? Some of the acting in this is worse than I've seen in High School productions, believe me!

The only reason to keep watching is to see if it ever gets better, or how much worse the direction / dialog / acting (using that term loosely here) can get. Was hoping for some sort of redemption, but don't waste your time like I did.

Truly - this was a waste of film or whatever they shot it on. Sam Rockwell should hire someone to burn the masters.

It's 90 minutes I'll never get back.

This is, hands down, one of the worst films I've attempted to watch in recent history. The story might have worked with better direction and a more competent cast, but...

Fortunately, Sam Rockwell managed to get past this film and move on to more impressive efforts.

Amber Kain is the acting equivalent of fingernails being dragged down a chalkboard. It's small wonder her filmography is what it is.

There are a great many fine, small budget films out there.

Skip this one.

this is some of the worst, most cliched writing i've seen in a while...terrible direction and horrible lighting and photography, not to mention the stilted acting, with the exception of the maid and sam rockwell. poor sam rockwell puts in an energetic performance only to be destroyed by how badly the shots were set up adn the editing...oh my god! what a boring, terrible, cliched film...the first 2 minutes lets you know...WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!! BORING! BORING! BORING!

The films of this director have, for me, been hit or miss. Shepard is a consistently good director, with deep values and a great sense of sarcastic humor. The problem is with the scripts that he chooses or co-creates. But this film is by far his best, especially because of its fine performances. As always, Sam Rockwell is captivating and John Rubinstein delivers a solid performance. But the runaway star of the film is its unusual villain. Amber Kain is a fireball of raw genius. She is brilliantly disturbing in the role of "Ruby." It takes an actor of rare humility to commit to playing such an unlikable role. It takes an even more rare talent to make such an unlikable character sympathetic. Amber Kain scores on both counts, much like Angelina Jolie did as the character of "Lisa" in Girl, Interrupted. Amber Kain is a movie star in the making that audiences will love to hate. The only question now is: can she play nice?

i saw this on cctv movie channel,it's really a good film,at first i felt it was just a common criminal film about kidnap,but,i found it was more than crime as i finished seeing it,it showed the bad side of our society and human!..anyway,it's a good film......
