Killer Ransom

All the characters make utterly stupid decisions at various points in the film, and the little brother who goes along with the whole plot is the worst one. Why in the world he was so terrified of his brother who isn't even bigger than him is beyond me. The film did NOT sell that relationship well. It didn't feel realistic. The little brothers friend, sure.. but that's the one believable character.

The plot is very stale and unoriginal, but it is interesting at times, and the kidnapped daughter is naturally gorgeous, so there's that at least.

I'd recommend skipping this one. Just look up Paige Searcy's instagram instead. Better use of your time.

An amateurish kindapping by some high school kids with no exit plan gets an amateur rescue operation by Mom. It's funny the way the bungling attempt to take the girl unfolded. But what did they expect to do with the girl after?. It's dumb that the mother didn't want to contact the cops straight away, but I guess there would have been no movie. They all deserved each other. She didn't seem that rich anyway. Hardly worth risking jail for.

All of the background noise in this movie is way too loud. Sound tracks of birds and insects chirping playing in the background of indoor scenes, dialogue completely disguised by music and sounds effects. Absolutely terrible sound quality.

Nobody's acting in this movie was Oscar-worthy, but the woman who played the mom was just terrible! Nothing that she said was even remotely believable.

The kidnapper, Hunter (James Lucas), ruined the entire movie! Every sentence he spoke I felt like he was trying to over compensate the already pooy written storyline.
