Trapped 31 Aug 2003
Format:DVD
Although this film was really panned when it came out and didn't even make it to most of the cinemas in the UK, I can certainly say that I have seen worse films. OK so it is not the best film ever made but it is certainly not the worst. The story is of some kidnappers who get a little too big for their boots when they kidnap a wealthy doctors daughter, they relish the fact that no one gets hurt and the kids all get reunited with their parents and that they have never been caught, but this time they don't realise that the parents will put up a fight and the daughter has life threatening asthma. It will not keep you gripped to your seat but you won't get bored. Kevin Bacon is perfect as a slightly mad not so nice character whose wife is played by Courtney Love.

I am usually disappointed with the movie after reading the book, and that is why in several cases I do not even bother to go through the exercise of watching it. I read "24 Hours", the book by Greg Iles on which the movie is based, a couple of years ago and was satisfied with the experience. When the movie came out I did not even give it a second glance, but when Charlize Theron won the Oscar for best actress for her performance in "Monster", I decided that maybe I should give other of her performances a try.

The script, written by Iles, is faithful to the book. A team of kidnappers has found a "perfect" modus operandi; they grab a rich kid and at the same time one of the members of the team stays with the mother and another with the father to keep them in check. In this way everything runs smoothly...or maybe not. Now they have chosen the wrong family to mess with, since they will not go down without a fight.

Kevin Bacon plays Joe, the leader of the kidnappers' team, who is in charge of staying with the mother of the victim (Charlize Theron). The movie goes back and forth between this pair and the one formed by Stuart Townsend, who plays the role of the father, and Courtney Love, the female member of the gang. This separation makes the difference in the quality of the acting strikingly obvious, with Bacon and Theron shinning compared to Townsend and Love.

The movie, as the book, presents a thriller with a non-stop pace, which keeps the audience on edge. The sexual tension between the kidnappers and the victims present in the book is well achieved in the movie too. The main weakness of the movie is the ending, which is rushed compared to the novel. Therefore, it does not achieve such a high climax and disappoints those who read the book a little bit towards the end. To sum up, this is a good movie based on a very good book.

Trapped 31 Mar 2005
Format:DVD
This was brilliant. The story starts with a child being taken away from her parents. She is stolen and put up to ransom. As the plot unfolds more characters are involved and the mystery develops. Gradually there is a twist and we are told the real reson why the child is taken is not money.find out the rest and I guarentee that it won't disappoint you
