Preview by Jon Donnis

Halle Berry takes audiences on a relentless, heart-pounding ride in Kidnap, a thriller that first hit cinemas in 2017 and is now available on digital platforms. Directed by Luis Prieto and written by Knate Lee, the film originally made waves at the box office, grossing over $34 million worldwide against a modest budget. While it received mixed reviews from critics, audiences praised its non-stop tension and Berry's gripping performance, making it a standout entry in the action-thriller genre.

Berry stars as Karla, a single mother whose ordinary afternoon at the park turns into a nightmare when she witnesses her young son, Frankie, being snatched by a stranger. With no time to wait for help, she jumps into her car and gives chase, determined to rescue her child at any cost. What follows is a high-speed pursuit filled with near misses, escalating danger and a mother's unwavering determination to defy the odds.

The film also features Sage Correa as Frankie, Chris McGinn as the sinister abductor and Lew Temple as her dangerous accomplice. Berry carries much of the film on her own, delivering a raw and emotional performance that keeps the tension building throughout. The story unfolds almost in real time, making every moment feel urgent and claustrophobic as Karla pushes herself to the limit.

While Kidnap may not have been a critical darling upon its initial release, it struck a chord with thriller fans who enjoy intense, fast-paced storytelling. With its gripping action sequences and emotional stakes, the film remains a thrilling watch. Now available on digital platforms, it is the perfect time to experience or revisit this nerve-shredding chase.
