Held for Ransom

I didn't know the story of Daniel going into this and boy was i filled with surprised and disturbing images rodof the senseless brutality of isis. Do yourself a favour, share this movie with your friends because the world needs to know.

Its been a long time since i have been so touched by a movie. The lead actor is excellent and great directing also. Even though its over 2 hours i was sitting on the edge of the chair for the entire movie and would have kept that position if it had lasted an hour more. I really liked to see how the family was trying to deal with the situation and acting accordingly. By the i saw another review in here naming the actor as the negotiator by the wrong name. His name is Anders W- Berthelsen who also co directed the movie. Hats off to Daniel Rye and all the other hostages of Isis. I have the greatest respect for all of them. And RIP to James Foley what a crime he was murdered. I hope all involved in that got their due punishment.

This was a poignant and deeply moving portrait of a family's desperate efforts to rescue their son from the grip of the horrific ISIS regime. I think this was a fitting tribute to the terrible experience Daniel Rye and the other hostages. Highly recommend this film. RIP Jim Foley and all the thousands who were murdered by ISIS.

It has been a very long since a movie has touched me this way. A very strong performance by Esben Smed. As a Dane, that doesn't watch many Danish movies - this is an instant classic for me!
