Movie- Secuestro Express

A young, rich couple are kidnapped after a night on the town in Caracas, Venezuela. The kidnappers want ransom, of course, as this is a money making enterprise. But in Secuestro Express (2004), this does not just go straight forward. There are many twists and turns, and that is why I liked this movie, even though it was a bit uneven.

The twists are things I did not see coming, the relationship between the kidnappers and the victims change, and the is a bit of a value change on who are the "good" guys, and who the "bad."

Mia Maestro is particularly good in the movie, as Carla...she pretty much makes it I think, though Jean Paul Leroux is also good as Martin, the other half of the kidnapped pair.

Secuestro Express is not great, but it offers an interesting, and unique, bend in a movie that could have been very typical
