"Secuestro" is written by Oriol Paulo, the writer-director of the superior thrillers "El Cuerpo" and "Contratiempo" (both highly recommended), and writer of the suspenseful "Julia's Eyes" (also recommended). "Secuestro" may not be quite up to those movies, but it's still an absorbing, twisty and intricate thriller. Paulo once again places ordinary people in an unusual situation that just spirals out of control. This film may not blow you away, but it will surprise you. *** out of 4.

This Is An "OH S**T!" Movie
This was a great movie.
We have a dishevelled, slightly bloody boy found walking a secluded road who, when taken to the hospital and questioned by both police and high priced attorney mom, states that he was kidnapped. A suspect is identified and question but with no incriminating evidence, is released only to be seen following mom and son the next day as well as a disturbance at their residence in the following days. When mom believes that the cops will not be able to manage the culprit, she takes matters into her own hands. Never a good idea, folks.
This movie has more than a couple of twists and I never saw a couple of them coming. That qualifies it as awesome in my opinion. It's not the same old story that is played out all the time. The only complaint I have is that I had to read subtitles and that's a pain but this movie is one of the reasons I watch foreign movies. Check it out. This one is worth it.
Heavily underrated
No special effects, no post-processing. Very interesting, twisted and suspenseful story, and very good acting.
