Held for Ransom

Its been a long time since i have been so touched by a movie. The lead actor is excellent and great directing also.

Even though its over 2 hours i was sitting on the edge of the chair for the entire movie and would have kept that position if it had lasted an hour more. I really liked to see how the family was trying to deal with the situation and acting accordingly. By the i saw another review in here naming the actor as the negotiator by the wrong name. His name is Anders W- Berthelsen who also co directed the movie.

Hats off to Daniel Rye and all the other hostages of Isis. I have the greatest respect for all of them.

And RIP to James Foley what a crime he was murdered. I hope all involved in that got their due punishment.

This movie is the exact opposite of a slow-burn, it kicks into high gear very early on and stay there. You won't notice it is a 2.5-hour movie until the credits starts rolling. I was sitting at the edge of my chair the entire time. Strong script plus superb acting make this one a must-see.

..drama about the mental and physical torture those poor kidnap victims of Isis had to endure

Well worth watching.

I didn't know the story of Daniel going into this and boy was i filled with surprised and disturbing images rodof the senseless brutality of isis. Do yourself a favour, share this movie with your friends because the world needs to know.

This was a poignant and deeply moving portrait of a family's desperate efforts to rescue their son from the grip of the horrific ISIS regime. I think this was a fitting tribute to the terrible experience Daniel Rye and the other hostages. Highly recommend this film.

RIP Jim Foley and all the thousands who were murdered by ISIS.
