Regarding to dramatic side, the film is admirable and it worth watching while the emotions are obviously recognizable and it shows how fragile could be the relations between people after the serious problem.
On the other side, the film is somehow weak in term of mysterious parts because the kidnappers are not really involved in the film that audiences might not guess who would be potentially criminals at all.
