Popcorn vs Kernel
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Kidnap (2017)
Directed by: Luis Prieto
Written by: Knate Lee
Starring: Halle Berry
Going through a custody battle, Karla (Berry) is highly stressed and just wants to enjoy her time with her child. But as she becomes distracted at the park, her son is kidnapped and she'll do anything to get him back.
The film watched like a B movie. It followed all the film making rules, but seemed amateurish compared to other films. If Halle Berry wasn't signed onto this film, it probably wouldn't have been made otherwise.
There were a few scenes that were held too long, which was a bad choice on the editing and directing side. Plus some of the music was distracting and felt too cinematic.
But, the movie was highly suspenseful with tension and good acting. Berry did an excellent job portraying a caring mother trying to get her child back. Throughout the film, as an audience member, I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I was eager for more!
Even at the end I wanted more and was unsatisfied with how they left things. Personally, I would have liked some more information about the custody afterwards and how this kidnapping affected it, but I guess the director thought otherwise.
Nevertheless, 4 popcorns! I thought it was a great plot.
