Secuestro

This was a great movie.

We have a dishevelled, slightly bloody boy found walking a secluded road who, when taken to the hospital and questioned by both police and high priced attorney mom, states that he was kidnapped. A suspect is identified and question but with no incriminating evidence, is released only to be seen following mom and son the next day as well as a disturbance at their residence in the following days. When mom believes that the cops will not be able to manage the culprit, she takes matters into her own hands. Never a good idea, folks.

This movie has more than a couple of twists and I never saw a couple of them coming. That qualifies it as awesome in my opinion. It's not the same old story that is played out all the time. The only complaint I have is that I had to read subtitles and that's a pain but this movie is one of the reasons I watch foreign movies. Check it out. This one is worth it.

I have become a fan of Spanish movies, they seem to have what it takes. And so does this movie. It's a decent thriller, has a nice story with a few twists that keep you interested. Not very violent or scary type of thriller, but more of the action type. And I felt that it wasn't predictable. The basic idea is that of a mother and the things she would do, or get through, to save her kid. It's not exactly award-winning, but I enjoyed it very much. And so did my husband, and he is usually picky. The only scene I did not like is one that suggests animal violence, but don't worry, no animals do actually get hurt, and you can see that in the movie. So it is a nice movie that would please you and it definitely isn't a waste of time.

The subtitles made me wish my Spanish was either so much better that I could dispense with them, or so much worse that I didn't realize how poorly done the translations were (it was apparent that they were NOT done by a person FLUENT in BOTH languages). I really enjoyed the movie. It was well-acted, and had an intriguing plot, but at some point the plot twists did spiral out of control.

I don't want to give it away, but all too often you can see the end coming a mile away, but not on this film.

It's a low budget film, but really well done, twists and turns right to the very end. I noticed someone commented about the dog fighting scene. It's not real, no more than the bruises on the kid.

I really liked this movie.

Unpredictable and exciting with good actors and acting.

The ending is fantastic and totally unexpected, but each one with their own tastes.

Don't miss it if you like good Spanish thrillers, and this one is very realistic and well done.
