Could have been a good film

Rating: 3/10 (16 February 2014)

It is clear from the reviews it is a film you will either love or hate. For those that found in an 'on the edge of your chair thriller' I can only assume you haven't seen many film.
The detective is portrayed as a super cop who has cleared up every case he's dealt with. Judging by his performance in this film I find this very hard to believe, and wouldn't trust to investigate a shoplifting let alone an abduction of 2 kids.
A guy with a mental age of 10 is able to endure over a week of torture without dropping his aunt in it.
Some guy collects kids cloths and covers them in pigs blood, and places them in a suitcase full of snakes for no apparent reason.
One of the kids manages to escape but we don't really know how.
No real motive for the kidnapping.
The viewer has no empathy for the family or children as no bond is established, at one point I briefly forgot that two kids had been kidnapped.
The significance of the 'Maze' was never explained.
I could go on but I've wasted 153 mins of my life watching this film so don't propose to waste any more.
