About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a high-pressure kidnapping thriller built around mind games, moral dilemmas, and constant escalation; Not for you if you need grounded logic or sympathetic leads, like in The Foreigner.
Pros: strong lead performances; tense, fast-moving setup; surprising turns | Cons: implausible situations; repetitive demands; hard-to-like parents
