Kidnapped (2010)
A brutal home invasion film about a wealthy family in Madrid whose home is broken into by three vicious thugs.
What starts as a simple robbery turns very ugly with brutal scenes of rape and violence with suspense and tension from the off. It's great to see a film of this type where the perpetrators aren't rampaging teen thugs but calculating criminals as it definitely adds unpredictability to proceedings.
Once the invasion takes place the film's pace is unrelenting and uncompromising culminating in a final ten minutes that hits home hard and certainly took me by surprise.
Stylishly directed and well acted, Kidnapped is definitely recommended.
