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.

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 !

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!
This movie has to be one of the best Haitian movies to be released recently. Director Bruno Mourral combines high class comedy with a serious matter in today's Haiti in a way that keeps the audience laughing and appreciating a plot with many twists and turns: a kidnaping by two inept individuals in cahoots with a chief of police involved in the kidnaping of the son of a presidential candidate who unknowingly trusts that same corrupt chief of police. The acting is simply excellent, the dialogue is hilarious. Congratulations to Director Bruno Mourral and his collaborators deserve a great accolade!
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.
