Great fun!,
By
This review is from: Kidnapped (DVD)
I hadn't seen anything with Iain Glen since "Mountains of the Moon" which was an amazing movie. This movie is almost as good, it is a lot of fun, a real swashbuckler / Dickensian tale / Adventure story. They did a great job on this and I can't wait to re-watch it. If you like A&E's Hornblower series, you'll love this!

The face says it all.,

This review is from: Kidnapped (DVD)
-The first adult novel I read was "Kidnapped," when I received it for my 9th birthday. I had a tough time with many of the words, but no one would help me; they would always say: "Look it up. That's how you learn." Well, I did learn to love Stevenson's work and similar adventure tales; but, the reason I gave this adapted version of Stevenson's work four stars is the acting. I withhold one star for the deep changes to the original story that have already discussed here by other reviewers. The entire cast did an excellent job, but the work of Iain Glen, and especially of James Anthony Pearson, is something to write home about. Pearson's facial expressions alone are worth the price of admission, or, more accurately, the price of the DVD. Take a look at the brief flash of realization on this young actors face, when he tells the weaver that he thought she was a witch, and then he realizes that it was the wrong thing to say. Better still, watch Pearson/Davie's face in the background as Alan Breck and James-of-the-Glen have a heated discussion, which ends when James's daughter asks Pearson/Davie if he likes smelling like a goat. This young Pearson, has that special acting talent which allows him to manipulate his face so that it speaks volumes, without a word being said. One is reminded of the remarkable eyebrows of Jack Nicholson and Christian Slater, among other great actors. 11 of 13 people found the following review helpful

Great fun on PBS(I'm still in shock : ),
By K. Vaske - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kidnapped (DVD)
Okay, okay. I admit it. I have never read Kidnapped. Thats probably why I enjoyed this so much. I thought the cast was fantastic, the locations were great, and the direction wasn't half bad. I did read the reviews and they are probably right, but since I didn't read Steven's book I wasn't bothered by anything left out or messed up(Obviously). So in conclusion if you want a good fun film from PBS buy this. IF you are a fan of the book you should probably burn this thing(Judging on the other reviews), or, like me, you could enjoy a good old adventure tale....

great film,

I have not read the book "Kidnapped" so I don't know if this movie keeps to the story line. But even if it doesn't this is a great adventure movie. It keeps your interest, it's decent, no bad language, no nudity, or sexual content (that's one in a million).The actors all do a great job in the roles they play. Especially Iain Glenn, who plays the proud scottsman who loves his blue coat, who also played Mr. Preston in "Wives and Daughters." |
