Nice effects though.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Some very bad actions done in some very bad situations.Was nobody thinking about this? Not wearing gloves, not using something to distort a voice, not using code. not feeding the kid and keeping him warm, leaving too many trails, doing a business deal in an airport where massive security and cameras are...so so so many bad decisions...you can't even feel bad for anybody getting arrested poor planning in every level no wonder the company was going downhill...the people that work there are idiots - and they were the best that the company could get? they deserve to lose their jobs for being stupid

This was quite an ok film with a reasonable amount of suspense. The plot was pretty predictable though and the main character played by Richard Greico did get played for a bit of a sucker by his girlfriend. In the end you were left feeling sorry for him rather than hating him for what he and his girlfriend did.

Because of pressing financial need, a man and woman, newly-minted lovers, decide to commit the crime of kidnapping for ransom. A nicely crafted script marked by attention to detail bring about a rewarding drama of suspense. By any yardstick, Matt Dorff's directorial debut shows a good deal of promise as he uses his players well. Richard Grieco and Marie-Josee Croze, the leads, are given ambiguity in their roles by scriptor Mark Perry to guarantee that audience interest is maintained. The supporting cast give generally good performances. Cinematographer Georges Archambault ensures that the Canadian settings are of visual interest and lighted to match the varying moods. The subject is not a new one, but the business surrounding an apparent first attempt at crime are of abiding focus. One caveat: avoid reading the video box liner notes; as is too often the case, the scribbler was operating with a handicap of insensitivity or imbelicity, or both, and gives away too much of a fragile plot. However, even with this constraint, the viewer will be able to apply sensibility to an underrated work.
