A nice but somewhat basic thriller. Director Ben Young made an effort with the soundtrack to make things a bit more stylized, and I think he did a pretty good job too, but it wasn't quite enough the lift the presentation to a higher level. And as such, this film struggled to be anything more than a solid thriller.
The performances are good, the cinematography is decent, and the score is used well, but the premise is rather simplistic, and the plot doesn't go anywhere exciting. The kidnappers aren't excessively freaky, the violence isn't extra, and the few plot twists are more tedious than surprising. It's not a bad film, just not a memorable one.
