Kidnapping Inc.

The movie is a roller coaster of emotions. The audience is totally engrossed by the palpitant cruelty of the gangs which rule the daily life in Haiti. When you least expect it, a joke or a scene provokes the whole audience to break into loud laughter. Often, I would find myself in tears because of the sad reality of the drama enfolding on the screen. Soon after, I would be tearing up and cracking up with laughter.

I've been encouraging all my friends to go see Kidnapping Inc. It's a perfect example of how Haitians have managed to endure the daily life by turning every sad situation into a joke. It's a masterpiece.

The movie is a picturesque depiction of Haitian society, especially Port-au-Prince, during the period of unrest it is currently experiencing. Haitians have a dark humor, a kind of psychological shield, and it shows. It dares to explore several taboo subjects including misogyny, homophobia, class disparities, the side-effects of the big earthquake... Each well-crafted character conveys a Haitian egregore, with all its nuances and colors. Bravo! I can't wait to see it again and laugh with the family. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

To think that I just saw Deadpool vs Wolverine, I believe that I love this kind of movie! The way haitian "influencers" randomly popped-up on scene, the action the intrigue, the.plot twits!!! OMG!! The plot twits. At the end you dont know if the audience is crying of joy or sadness.

I had no expectations and was blown away . The quality , the plot , the dialogues, the authenticity and the originality of this film are next level .

The title's feedback had some people tell me i am not sure i can watch this but the brilliance of this film is that you get to laugh , see crazy action scenes but the messages still flow through very but very efficiently . What better way to point out the disastrous situation that haiti is in at this moment . The " La perle des antillles " quote describing haiti as a paradise is far from that reality today and movements like this can spark that passion to move in the right direction as gives outsiders a view into that harsh reality .

Its brilliant , i gave it a 9 as if i did 10 , where do i put my christopher nolan movies lol .

Koodos to the whole team , hope you keep pushing , you made Haitians proud on this one .

As a whole, it's premise and concept isn't grand but the chaotic nuanced atmosphere and chemistry between the characters offer a fun decent action comedy with some good social political themes of Haiti placed between.

Knowing the production and behind the scenes making, the movie itself isn't perfect for sure. Some of the production, presentation and editing choices are not great. And some of the performances aren't great. But what makes it still fun is the chaotic non-serious nature, fun chemistry between the two main leads and the good pacing that never fails to stop it's tracks. The filmmaker clearly has a passion for chaotic action thrillers and it does offer a good balance with the action and comedy elements mixed together.

Overall, a decent action movie from Haiti.

Recommend 10/10

Kidnapping Inc's story rides the delicate line of being funny, nuanced, and sensitive in its approach to a recent and devasting social phenomenom plaguing Haiti.

The acting, plot twist, and production are all excellent. Most surprisingly, the movie showcases a wide variety of settings in Port-au-Prince, providing a more complete picture of the city than the negative images news media insist on showing.

This movie is action-packed, funny, and deep all at once with social commentary on how poverty, corruption, and greed affect all levels of society. The character development and plot get a chef's kiss.
