An absolute waste of money
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is the kind of quality show that should be on television, not half the detritus that's on today. Expertly plotted, always engaging, superbly acted. The series is not for the whole family; there is a lot of violence and gore (graphic depictions of people shot in the head); also some drug use and promiscuity on the part of the Cain's college-age daughter.Still, on the whole, the good guys really do turn out to be admirable characters. I rented this series from netflix on a whim, and boy was it ever worth the investment. I loved it from start to finish. Even the one character who I thought was pretty lightweight turns out to have an incredible twist at the end. Go and see it - you won't be disappointed.

Viewers hooked on Kidnapped, which was far-too-quickly yanked from NBC's 2006 fall line-up, watched a superb cast that included Jeremy Sisto, Delray Lindo, Dana Delaney and Timothy Hutton, play out the multiple twists and turns of this suspenseful thriller on-line. Will Denton delivered a focused, utterly believable performance as Leo Cain, the 15-year-old kidnap victim, who played a gripping psychological cat-and-mouse game for survival with his captors, brilliantly portrayed by Robert John Burke and Otto Sanchez. Even secondary characters had gripping back stories and the acting was uniformly excellent. The plot kept viewers guessing and stressing. When and if Sony provides a Kidnapped DVD, SNAP IT UP!

The stupidity of NBC killed this show. It has an excellent cast of the best caliber--even the unknowns were superb. The writing was constantly surprising and slick, yet, in a heartbeat, would turn to heartrending and moving.The most surprising thing about the show was the kidnapped victim himself. Leopold Cain is easily the most intriguing teenager ever put on television. He suffers quietly, never giving in, never panicking, always setting his brilliant mind to find the loopholes and minor mistakes of his captors. It is his tenacity and genius that keeps him alive as long as it does.The other fascinating thing about the show is the family dynamics. The Cains are wealthy, intelligent, influential and quirky. There are as many skeletons in the closet as there are people who hate them--and believe me, there are far too many for comfort.Beyond that,the creator of the show, Jason Smilovic had a brilliant concept for a show and he executed it perfectly, even though the show was cut to 13 episodes.It will be out on DVD hopefully in the Fall of '07. You really need to get it and watch. Then you'll curse NBC as often as I do for cutting short the life of such an outstanding show.

This was the best thing I've seen on TV in a long time. The casting, direction, music..... everything was excellent. It was too bad I had to watch the remaining episodes online at NBC.com, but we were all thankful we could at least see them. NBC made a huge mistake in cancelling this show. This was a show that we all looked forward to week after week. It was not just another Law & Order. Even though I love Law & Order, it is just so predictable. That's what made Kidnapped great....all of the twists and turns. We are all hoping it comes out on DVD. I'll buy it even though I've already seen it .... especially if they add back in episodes that were not shown! :)
