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 !

One of the most exhilarating movies I've watched in a while. From the plot twists to the scenes in Haiti you can't help but to get stuck in your seat from the beginning of the movie until the end. There's something to be said about the authenticity and raw truth of the political climate in Haiti. It was also intriguing to see the level of corruption people deal with.
The director does a masterful job blending all the different scenes in Haiti, the beaches, the mountains, the affluent areas and the slums to capture the real essence of today's life in Haiti. The cinematic investment made in the movie reflects the resilience and hard work of the entire cast and production team. Although it is incredibly hard to function in Haiti, the quality of the movie was not compromised one bit! That is a testament to the vision and sacrifice put forth to allow us to enjoy this brilliant Movie!

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!

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.

The movie is a picturesque depiction of Haitian society, especially Port-au-Prince, during the period of unrest it is currently experiencing. Haitians have a dark humor, a kind of psychological shield, and it shows. It dares to explore several taboo subjects including misogyny, homophobia, class disparities, the side-effects of the big earthquake... Each well-crafted character conveys a Haitian egregore, with all its nuances and colors. Bravo! I can't wait to see it again and laugh with the family. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
To think that I just saw Deadpool vs Wolverine, I believe that I love this kind of movie! The way haitian "influencers" randomly popped-up on scene, the action the intrigue, the.plot twits!!! OMG!! The plot twits. At the end you dont know if the audience is crying of joy or sadness.
