The premise is intriguing—a politician's life is turned upside down by a kidnapper’s call, which sounds thrilling, right? However, while the film starts strong, it sometimes stumbles in its execution. The lead performances are solid, especially from the mute wife, who conveys a lot without uttering a word. Yet, the pacing drags in parts, and some plot points feel a bit too familiar. It’s not a bad film by any means, but it doesn’t quite deliver on the promise of its gripping premise. If you’re looking for something to watch on a quiet evening, it’s worth a look, but don’t expect to be blown away. Show less
