(crime, drama, thriller)
Joe Hickley thinks he's got a great scheme: kidnap the child of rich parents, hold it for 24 hours, keeping the mother under his control while an accomplice gets the ransom from the father, who is on a trip. But things go very wrong when he tries this scheme on the Jennings family, in part because their daughter Abby is asthmatic, and in part because the Jennings' find out more than Hickley wants them to know.

Sometimes I wonder if the actors who agree to appear in movies with Kevin Bacon
do so because they have a secret desire to become a primary link
that increasingly popular parlor game known as six degrees of Kevin Bacon, a move
intended to assure that at least some screenland opportunity for immortality.
The actors co-starring with him in `Trapped '- aptly named
a movie that is little more than a 99-minute Wallowa useless, unadulterated sadism -
include Charlize Theron, Courtney Love and Stuart Townsend, not exactly
non-Nobodies name, but not quite Hollywood A-list of players either. But
selling your soul for eternal fame often comes with a price tag high, and he and
Sneaking not suspect that these last days Mephistopheles'
be just as happy if we forget that they were ever associated with this
perfectly dreadful, if thriller - Kevin Bacon and all. Even a
opportunity to cinematic immortality can not be a value that appears in a movie this awful.
Is there any topic more sensitive these days that children and the danger
kidnapping? And can any filmmaker, foolish or bold enough to take that
ignition,
really do without calling into question its own staff and objectives
reasons? Do we really want to see traumatized children torn away from
their parents or in danger of strangulation around the pretext of `
popular entertainment? It has been done successfully in the past, of course.
One of the greatest thrillers of all time - the 1964 British film "Séance on a Wet Afternoon
'- used the issue of child abduction as the source of its
Drama, but that film was a masterpiece, a poignant, psychologically
study of forcing a woman to the brink of madness. It takes a fine
sensitivity and a steady hand to maintain a touchy issue as child
danger becomes an exercise in cheap exploitation, and, sorry to say
, none of
these qualities in abundance appears very `Trapped ',
latest variation on the theme. In fact, `Trapped 'is almost as far from being
an artwork as possible for a film to get.
Bacon plays the leader of a trio of kidnappers of children whose modus operandi is
to target wealthy couples keep their children for ransom and then release them
< br> when parents have coughed up the money demanded. The trio
claims to have "success" retreated outside this small trick
four times already - in each case ended with parents were reunited with their children
, no questions asked. The fifth and current involves kidnapping
little Abby Jennings, the youngest daughter of Will and Karen Jennings, a high-priced
, apparently world-renowned anesthesiologist and a doting mother
with a few self - defense tricks of his sleeve (or their knickers
be more accurate). And as if they are forced to see the poor girl was
threatened by a group of third-rate thugs are not bad enough, they also have
to bear witness to his gasping breath to any number of attacks asthma that
lit by the stress of the experience. Well, what with `Signs'
before and now this film, I suppose that asthma has become a disease of childhood
film of this election season.
Throughout the film he always told how these hijackers brilliant
are supposed to - however, seem to do everything in its power to pay
their victims the opportunity to turn the tables on them. One of them, Bacon's wife
, conveniently falls asleep so that the casual
good doctor can remove all the bullets
his pistol, another Bacon's deaf - Ingeniously, oafish cousin,
to-kidnapper-with-a heart of gold, enters the kitchen to heat some soup
so the girl could walk free at the door, cells
phone in hand, to seek help, and even Bacon, `brain 'of the package, allows
Madam Jennings unaccompanied to go to the bathroom where they proceeded to
rummages through medicine cabinet of what seems like ten minutes until it finds a scalpel
then proceeded to hold his private parts
after he has made it vulnerable to fund itself completely disrobing in anticipation
to get a little nooky on the side. One wonders how these world-class
bumblers never managed to draw or a success
kidnapping, let alone four. The film includes even oldest of all
kidnap-scene cliches - the obligation of a nosey neighbor who drops
the most inopportune moment and needs to be fobbed off the victim's desperate
without arousing suspicion. And, of course, we have Ms Theron strip to their undies
(Bacon and Mr strip down to his birthday suit) only for
until sleaze quotient a little.
The film is not only ugly in a moral level, but on a visual level as well.
photography Frederick Elmes and Piotr Sobocinski is drab, mundane
and color, and director Luis Mandoki's `style 'consists mainly of
have the camera jump up and down like crazy whenever a character is excited or
story threatens to undermine the audience's attention span. The end
involves a large multi-vehicle accumulate on a highway in Oregon that is
as ridiculous as it is unconvincing.
'Trapped' almost says it all - for actors, filmmakers and
especially the audience.
I had not even heard of this movie and was surprised to find not one or two big players 5
but in this movie. And I can see why. This is a smart
thriller about a kidnapping. Such begins as a typical Hollywood
Blockbuster and certainly as one ends but history and how it unfolds
is very good.
This is a script with strong beautiful cinematography (again,
Vancouver), great performance. Theron proves once again that here is a strong
actress with great skill and a lot more potential. To boot, this is a reality
great action sequence near the end. A good, entertaining movie, this is a definitive
clock.
