Il sequestro di Stella

I enjoy the genre of this movie, but I must admit I was expecting more. The storyline is highly predictable, and it doesn't offer any surprises or fresh elements to stand out from others in its category.

While it may appeal to some viewers who appreciate the basics of this genre, I found it lacking in depth and originality.

The characters feel underdeveloped, specially Tom. I don't believe that after their preparation he would really make those mistakes. Also the plot twists are far too obvious to have any real impact.

Overall, it's not a movie I would strongly recommend.

You won't miss much if you decide to skip it, as it doesn't bring anything new or exciting to the table.

When I came across this movie on Netflix, I said to myself upon reading its description, "Hey, this sounds familiar." In the first two minutes of watching the movie, my suspicions were confirmed - this German movie is a remake of the 2009 British movie "The Disappearance of Alice Creed", which I had seen years earlier and remembered enjoying. I was not sure if this remake was authorized or not, but I was interested all the same to seeing an interpretation of the original story by filmmakers of another country. This remake does mostly follow what happened in the original, though it does throw in some new twists, as well as eliminate a few plot points. On its own terms, the movie is okay, being not boring, and acceptably acted. Yet I remember the original movie being more rawer and gritty than this remake, partially due to its lower budget. Because of that I found the original movie to be a lot more compelling than this somewhat more glossy and slicker remake. So far, the other user reviews of this remake have largely been very negative. While I don't think this remake is deserving of such harsh reviews, at the same time it is definitely a few notches below the original. So if you have a choice between seeing either movie, I would say watch the original.

To be honest I love most Netflix flicks, like I am mother etc. this flick made me angry. I don't want to spoil it but it is what it is. The writing sucks. Actors can't act when their direction and writing are awful. Come on Netflix. U can do better. Dark was so good in German. The writing is worse than a lifetime movie. Get it together and don't feature it as an "original".

If you watched the original, this falls way short despite being shoved into Netflix. Original was a ticking bomb. Remake didn't try to do anything new, every scene , every sequence and dialog was copied. Zero for originality. Skip and watch the original

This is almost play by play the exact same as the disappearance of alice creed. Is it even legal to rip a movie off and not even give them credit.
