More than expected.

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2014)

I went to the cinema with absolutely no expectations about this movie and luckily, I found it to be quite entertaining. The basic plot (I'm not spoiling don't worry) involves two couples whose children get kidnapped. The performances are quite good and even more, the characters are quite empathetic (especially Jackman since you can feel his frustration and anger rising throughout the movie, Gyllenhaal does a good job as well). I wouldn't say it should have been an Oscar candidate but it's still an entertaining movie to rent or even to go to the cinema like I did. In general lines, it's an entertaining well-paced movie with a more than decent script.
