This was the best thing I've seen on TV in a long time. The casting, direction, music..... everything was excellent. It was too bad I had to watch the remaining episodes online at NBC.com, but we were all thankful we could at least see them. NBC made a huge mistake in cancelling this show. This was a show that we all looked forward to week after week. It was not just another Law & Order. Even though I love Law & Order, it is just so predictable. That's what made Kidnapped great....all of the twists and turns. We are all hoping it comes out on DVD. I'll buy it even though I've already seen it .... especially if they add back in episodes that were not shown! :)

Ben Kingsley does a great job of acting in this film. Everyone else is just average. The writing is pitiful. While the ending is not comical, the writing is so bad that it becomes comical. The premise is just ridiculous, implausible and unbelievable. Throughout the film, you just want to scream to Kathy "Go get a job!" or "Try opening your mail!" The deputy, Lester, that attempts to come to the rescue of Kathy is probably the most unbelievable character. No one would go to the lengths he did and risk prison time for kidnapping, etc. to help out this poor dumb woman no matter how beautiful she is. I think this movie should be an embarrassment for the writers and for anyone who actually thought the story was good. It could have been good, but just wasn't.
