Kidnapped

About This Movie

Kidnapped (2017) presents a curious blend of comedy and crime wrapped in a family-friendly package. The film’s offbeat tone walks a fine line between absurdity and genuine heart, showcasing a family thrown into chaos by Bertram’s uncle, a small-time crook. The pacing is brisk, keeping the energy high as the plot spirals into unexpected territory. Practical effects add a certain charm, grounding the more outrageous moments. The performances are a mixed bag, with some actors really leaning into the zany nature of their roles. It’s not your typical heist film; it’s more like a chaotic family outing gone haywire, which gives it a unique flavor that separates it from more polished comedies.
