Stockholm

Ok, a lot of people dissed this movie but I think James Duval was amazing in this film. He is a great actor. I watched because he drew me in.

I loved this movie. It does start out slow and stays a little slow until mid-movie but it all makes sense when it comes together. The ending was a little confusing the first time; I had to watch it twice and the very end left viewers with more questions. This is a psychological crime drama so it's going to make you think about what's taking place throughout the movie and how it's going to affect the outcome. The main female character did something the other female characters didn't and that's what made the plot twist very interesting to me. It's definitely worth watching but don't watch when you're sleepy or unfocused because you want to be focused for this one.

I can't believe these reviews! I'm not one of the actors, I'm not the director and I'm not a friend of a friend. Just some guy who watches my Amazon fire TV a lot. (This was on tubi TV, amazingly awesome free app. It has big blockbusters and tv shows and everything).

Anyways, I have just about zero patience for bad movies. I will turn a movie off in the first 10 or 15 seconds. This movie kept my eyes on the screen and that's saying a lot because I was trying to research my hobby on my tablet. The young girl was a legit actress. Good as any. I looked at her profile here on IMDb and she only had two other movies, played an extra in both it looks like. And still, not even a tiny hint of bad acting. She's beautiful too. I'd be surprised if I never saw her again.

This James Duval guy is a very familiar face just don't know where from. Now his acting wasn't too bad but it wasn't as natural feeling as the girl. You know how Keanu Reeves comes off as really awkward but he's a good actor and keeps your attention, James Duval was exactly like Keanu Reeves here. But I'm sure I've seen him in much better movies where he was more relaxed. I mean he was playing a serial killer after all.

But I enjoyed it! I wanted to see what happened next and how it ended. You know how big hollywood movies sometimes have slow scenes with slow or no dialogue but it's good because the actors are interesting? This movie has a lot of scenes like that. It's not fast paced and the dialogue is slow but it keeps your eyes on the screen, so that's pretty good because when a bad movie has slow scenes it's unbearable. To me at least. I rely on IMDb reviews and ratings a lot. You can generally get a good idea if a movie is a total flop or not. But these people really missed the mark here. It's a fine movie. Yes I guess it's a b movie, never have known exactly what makes a movie a b movie but considering that it's a damn good movie.

It was slow, anticlimactic, and poorly executed. Bad acting. Poor camera crew. It was like a cheap made at home $100 movie. Would not recommend

It's a pretty good concept that somehow just does not work. The twist at the end is really not surprising, but it does lack motive. What compelled the kidnapper to carry out his evil plans is never explained. This makes him unlikable to the audience. He comes across as just plain evil, and gives no reason for the audience to feel compassion for him. His is not the Hero, nor the anti-hero, is is just a villain. Even more so, it furthers the myth of Stockholm Syndrome in which the captive falls in love with the captor. And seeing how the Captor has no redeeming qualities, this trope is overused here. There are better abduction movies out there, so put this one at the bottom of the list and go see something better.
