A very good movie, fast moving thriller about a very, very rich man that is kidnapped for ransom. Unfortunately, during the weeks he is held by the kidnappers, all sorts of unsavory stuff about his life is revealed to the public and his family. Wont go further because it will give away the rest of the movie. Could have been an AA if the film maker completed the story. Sort of ended abruptly.
From Netflix:
Lucas Belvaux's Rapt is good, nasty fun: a crime thriller based on the actual 1978 kidnapping of a French-Belgian executive whose harrowing 9-week experience at the hands of a criminal band is, ultimately, less life-threatening to him than the details of his scandalous life which the tabloids uncover in the course of these events. Yvan Attal stars as a wildly attractive business man and political mover and shaker who hops effortlessly from one chauffeured Mercedes to another as hetrades board rooms for bedrooms. A thoroughly harrowing kidnapping finds him handcuffed, abused, terrified, unshaven, hungry and in need of 50 million euros. His picture-perfect Parisian wife, two svelte teenage daughters and elegant grand-dame maman are left to consider just how much his life and liberté are worth to them.
