The story concerns the kidnapping of a young girl played by Dakota Fanning of I Am Sam fame from a young, wealthy couple played by Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend. Kevin Bacon plays Joe the kidnapping mastermind...who has basically set up the perfect plan...to basically kidnap everyone involved...the young girl, the mother and her husband. All are held at three different places by three different people. Everything is taken care of within 24 hours and constant contact is made to ensure nothing wrong is going on. According to Joe this eiminates the problems of ransom notes, messy drop-off and collection points and this also eliminates the involvemet of the police or the FBI. A perfect kidnapping scheme that we learn has worked on 4 other occasions...until now. Charlize Theron is very good as a feisty young mother who fights back...the scenes with her and Bacon are superb and what fuel this film. Courtney Love should also be noted who is good in her role and her scenes with Townsend. Naturally we do root for Theron and Townsend and that they reunite with their little girl...however we feel sympathy for the kidnappers especially Kevin Bacon who is doing this not just for the money...The ending I felt was a little too predictable...but this is a formulac story...the actoin that leads up to it is very good, and intense especially a scene where Townsend and Love are in a small airplane and they are going "up and down"...its very good, you will see what I mean. Overall Trapped is a solid thiller that delivers good entertainment and features a very good cast. |
