Reality... - obviously25

This movie was as realistic as anything; my gf is from Venezuela and she recommended me this movie so that i would understand the reality that people in her country face on a daily basis, during the movie my gf said that her heart was raising in fear, because that's exactly how an express kidnapping would happen...if your family has the money to pay for the ransom.

The total fear experienced by victims of kidnappings - Porkchop

Secuestro express (2005) is a movie definitely rooted in the
today's hip hop and pop/MTV-like culture.

The story tells of a kidnapping by gangsters in Caracas, on a
Friday or a Saturday night, after a 28-ish couple has gone out
clubbing.

The movie is extremely articulate in detailing the dynamics of
such an event, the greed in getting money, jewelery, narcotics,
sex by those perpetrating it, the anarchy, split-second
decision making by those involved in what to do next, who
lives, who dies, how much random is required, and so on.

The gangster actors chosen, are very street-like, in terms of
how down to earth they are, in their appearance.

But the film's exceptional presence, is Mia Maestro, who
astonishingly, and naturally expresses a spectrum of emotions,
tailor-made for the visual medium, such as despair, fear, drug
induced incoherence, joy, and other sentiments.

The movie moralizes about the disparity in living standards,
between the rich and the professional classes vs. everyone
else, and how feelings of jealousy, frustration, and hurt in
personal pride often is the case, when the first group flaunts
their status symbols and possessions.

The story is perhaps inclined and too rushed in its alleging of
bribe taking among patrol officers.

Incredibly, actual taking out of 2 or more victims in the
actual kidnapping is shown.

The psychology of selecting a car-jacking victim is explained.

A detailing of expectations is laid out by the gang including
forcing an ATM withdrawal, purchasing multiple Rolex watches at
the jewelry outlet, a ransom required from family members.

Weapons seem to be on hand, without difficulty, including shot
guns, Uzi, pistols, knives, etc.

The narco-trafficking and narco-consumption aspect is
underlined greatly, as ecstasy, coke, ganja is suggested as
commonplace by al

Good Stuff! - Jeefster

This is another one of those real-life, gritty, tense spanish movies in the vein of "City of God" and "Man Of the Year". It gives a very brutal portrayal of the greasy lowdown life of those living and doing their best in Latin America. If you have money, others want it and will do anything violent to get it. This movie also shows that even the good guys are not all good and the bad have some good in them. As in real life all is not always black and white but rather various shades of gray. The movie leaves you feeling a little "dirty" as it brings about feelings of distrust at ever going to visit any Latin American country and maybe having to be subjected to this kind of awful experience. See: Hostel. Quite an enjoyable little film, rent it if you like a gritty action movie shot on someting less than a huge Hollywood budget.
