Kidnapper

q01

It was a painful film to watch and I wanted so badly to leave halfway. The film's message was positive, the acting wasn't half bad and the Singapore scenery was a welcomed change from all things Hollywood. Even the cinematography and lighting at most parts were poignant. However it was more of a vehicle to showcase cruelty to children. I am sure there are better ways to evoke the necessary emotions. I just felt disturbed and uneasy for most part of the film and that got me pissed. I wanted so badly to like it and show my support for a made-in-Singapore movie.

If Christopher Lee acted in another film I'll surely watch it, but if Kelvin Tong is directing - never again.
