Kidnapping Inc.

An excellent dark comedy. The film has many funny moments, unexpected twists and turns, and underneath the laughter, there are moments that are moving and hit hard. Two of my favourite characters were Doc and Laura. Doc is one of the kidnappers but quickly grows to be a sympathetic character. I was left rooting for him. Laura is the epitome of a strong woman, and is also allowed to be a feminine woman. I appreciate that the two can coexist, which isn't always the case in film. I was kept guessing about what was going to happen next, yet everything fit perfectly. I very much enjoyed this film. Highly recommended!

Recommend 10/10

Kidnapping Inc's story rides the delicate line of being funny, nuanced, and sensitive in its approach to a recent and devasting social phenomenom plaguing Haiti.

The acting, plot twist, and production are all excellent. Most surprisingly, the movie showcases a wide variety of settings in Port-au-Prince, providing a more complete picture of the city than the negative images news media insist on showing.

This movie is action-packed, funny, and deep all at once with social commentary on how poverty, corruption, and greed affect all levels of society. The character development and plot get a chef's kiss.

As a whole, it's premise and concept isn't grand but the chaotic nuanced atmosphere and chemistry between the characters offer a fun decent action comedy with some good social political themes of Haiti placed between.

Knowing the production and behind the scenes making, the movie itself isn't perfect for sure. Some of the production, presentation and editing choices are not great. And some of the performances aren't great. But what makes it still fun is the chaotic non-serious nature, fun chemistry between the two main leads and the good pacing that never fails to stop it's tracks. The filmmaker clearly has a passion for chaotic action thrillers and it does offer a good balance with the action and comedy elements mixed together.

Overall, a decent action movie from Haiti.

The movie is a roller coaster of emotions. The audience is totally engrossed by the palpitant cruelty of the gangs which rule the daily life in Haiti. When you least expect it, a joke or a scene provokes the whole audience to break into loud laughter. Often, I would find myself in tears because of the sad reality of the drama enfolding on the screen. Soon after, I would be tearing up and cracking up with laughter.

I've been encouraging all my friends to go see Kidnapping Inc. It's a perfect example of how Haitians have managed to endure the daily life by turning every sad situation into a joke. It's a masterpiece.

Kidnapping INC is a masterpiece-a bold mix of Haiti's harsh realities, dark humor, and sharp satire. It captures the country's struggles, resilience, and the humor found in chaos. It's a stunning movie with gripping storytelling, sharp dialogue, and a raw yet immersive experience. The visuals and performances bring Haiti's complex reality to life. If you miss Haiti, this is the movie to watch. If you're looking for a deeper understanding of Haiti Kidnapping INC is that MOVIE. PERIOD.

Alongside FREDA from Gessica Geneus, in my opinion i would say it sets a new international standard for Haitian cinema. KUDOS !
