Bruno Mourral’s ‘90s throwback crime comedy KIDNAPPING INC. fuses non-stop violent action with Haitian politics. The mixing of the slapstick and the serious results in some tonal inconsistencies, but you might be willing to overlook them because the entertaining parts are so good.
It also provides insight into daily lives of Haitians, who have to overcome many obstacles. Some crew members were actually kidnapped during the filming.
This is an entertaining, yet anxiety-filled film that reflects the strenuous conditions it was shot under.
