My Thoughts

Kidnap is an exiting thriller starring the amazing Halle Barry.The film centers around Karla, a single mom who is enjoying some time with her son at the amusement park.  She loses sight of him for barely a second, but looks back just in time to see someone trying to get away with her son. She didn't have a phone, and there was no time to wait for help.  She jumps in her car and follows the kidnappers. She hangs onto the car, drives through crashes and accidents, ignores police, and eventually faces the kidnappers one-on-one. 

Overall, I thought this was a really great film. There was action and intrigue, and it's great to see a thriller from a mother's perspective. Usually the father is the one who runs to the rescue while mom sits home crying and taking sedatives. As a single mom, this wasn't an option for this character, and I'm sure there are many of us out there who can relate. Halle Berry was just perfect for this role. She embodies a strong woman, but can still invoke powerful emotion. This is definitely a must-watch film with non-stop action and a few twists along the way.
