Rapt

Belgian writer and director Lucas Belvaux delivered a riveting film with this effective thriller. After a wealthy industrialist is kidnapped, his family can't pay the ransom while his company and the police try to interfere with the negotiation that puts his life in endanger. Belvaux takes the formula and gives it a complex twist that makes for a satisfying experience without losing any tension. The talented cast that includes Yvan Attal, Anne Consigny and Alex Descas provide more depth to the characters with their solid performances. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
