Joe Hickley thinks he's got a enthusiastic programme: kidnap the child of elegant parents, rebuff it for 24 hours, keeping the matriarch beneath his knob while an partner in crime gets the ransom from the father, who is on a journey. But things go very wrong when he tries this scheme on the Jennings family, in part because their daughter Abby is asthmatic, and in part because the Jennings' find manifest more than Hickley wants them to positive.

Trapped
An enjoyable film, but nothing more. Kevin Bacon is great as usual, with good performances all-round, even Courtney Love !
The direction is slick, but, maybe too stylised and stereotypical of these types of films, that aside its a solid piece of film.
The script is good and the acting brings up a notch, this film would have been a darnsite worse without Bacon, Theron and Townsend, they really brought the film up.
Overall, an enjoyable film, but not a great.
Don't get trapped into watching this
Will Jennings(Stuart Townsend) is a succesful doctor who leaves his wife Karen(Charlize Theron) and daughter Abby(Dakota Fanning) to go to a medical conference. While he's away, a group of kidnappers nab his daughter and whisk her off to a secret location. The lead kidnapper Joe(Kevin Bacon), stays at the house to keep an eye on Karen, while his wife Cheryl(Courtney Love) holds Will hostage in his hotel room. They're demanding $250,000 in 24 hours or little Abby gets it. They've done this four times before, but young Abby is asthmatic and this time the parents decide to fight back.
That's the ludicrous set-up to Luis Mandoki's 'Trapped' and the film simply unravels from there. Ineptly scripted and shoddily directed, 'Trapped' is nothing more than ...
