A 9-year-old boy and his mother are kidnapped by a serial-killing taxi driver while at the movies.

Honestly propably one of the best movies i’ve watched so far on this Topic.
I my self come from a childhoof of abuse and am trying to find similaryties of Unnormal behaivor from my past. I just relized watching this movie that its pretty much 100% Plausable for Rabbit to become that enraged against men who treat woman like shit when i just think about my dad my blood begins to literally boil and i feel so angry that i feel like that i’d might be able to forget morals if he did anything like what he used to do again and i dont even think id flinch anymore if i wintessed it.
Please to all who watched this take it as example of really really really really really inhuman parenting and never do anything he did to your childs dont let them see you be angry at someone you love or are close to bcs if they ever got to think that that’s normal you just raised a murderer who creates murderes out of his own children propably so please if you had a bad childhood and dont have a qlueue about what normal familys look like DONT GET CHILDREN THEY WILL SUFFER FOR LIFE AND IT MIGHT EVEN BE INTERCHANGABLE BY THEN SO JUST DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT HAVING SEX WITHOUT PROTECTION IF YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW TO RAIS A CHILD THAKN YOU ALL FOR READING AND UNDERSTANDING

The guy could have killed the kid, but instead takes him in under his wing, gives him a roof over his head, feeds him, only to be betrayed. What an ungrateful little shit. The only language kids understand these days is back of the hand language. Good movie, but that kid Rabbit will make you want to punch babies, disrespectful little piece of shit.

Exactly, the kid had just lost his mom for Gods sake, he didn’t know how good he had it! Vince shoulda just let him end up in the system, then the kid MAYBE would’ve realized “Hey, maybe I didn’t have it so bad with nice man after all!” But probably not, when you’re that ungrateful and self centered nothing is ever good enough, and everyone exists just to please you. Fuckin psycho kid, makes me sick

I really like this movie. Great acting- D’Onofrio’s weird speech impediment was a great touch. Great directing, good job little Lynch (the cameo in the TV commercial was a nice touch).

Rabbit, this kid needs so much hug. QAQQQQQ

Such a great plot twist at the end of the movie.

BTW, what happened now to Angie? Also, I think it needs some incest tag here for that one forced scene with the killer driver and his mom(?).

This was so great. Really enjoyed a lot of the strange dialogue, far better acting than most mainstream captivity films. This is gonna stick with me for a while. Thanks so much for having this film in hd!!

I really liked the movie, and it was really good. The sad truth about this, is that it can and it probably happens a lot irl, with the criminals never being found out. Lots of missing girls cases never resolved and etc.

Is incredible, how all those mentally disturbed potential criminals are out there in the streets, doing whatever they want. There’s always some kind of trauma or trigger, involved in their motivations, and of course, sexual related too. Guess people should be careful while being around men that shows their resenment towards women or people in general, or some weird sexual fantasies. Those always turns out to be a total danger to society and people.

Well, not all criminals have traumas. Like this one, the man who hired the killer driver probably wanted the insurance money for missing wife and son. He’s just being an asshole sociopath, because if not, then he should’ve at least get a professional help or try to be a good man in spite of his past experience.

It’s a good movie. pretty original. There was a reason behind the madness of the killer which is revealed at the end. Too bad it took langer than 15 years for the kid to grow some balls despite what he went through. That said, the Killer could’ve just told him, use his anger to exact revenge. He probably woud’ve became loyal. That, and coupled with Stockholm syndrome.

heyyy you posted one of my suggestions. Love this movie! Vincent is one of my favorite actors in recent memory! I know Im not supposed to post suggestions here but Listening 2014 by director Khalil Sullins is another excellent movie. I mean as far as blood and guts go there isnt any there, but as far as whats happening in the real world today this movie hits home.

Now I can understand why the killer didn’t really want to hurt the kid. The near ending explains it all. It brought me chills from start to finish. Great movie EUM! Two Thumbs-Up!

Well all I can say is it you get into a private minicab make sure you check the taxi serial number on the outside of the cab matches the one inside the cab & have your mobile phone handy to ring 999 or 911! I’ m 53 and when I was 17 I got a taxi home around 2am and suddenly he went passed where I.lived & he stopped talking altogether.Suddenly.I found myself being driven to abandoned dockland area & after I asked him to where the f* co he was going & was ignored I decided to overpower him & all 5 ft 10 of me kicked off screaming and kicking until .heard the door lock release and I ran hell for leather like Usain Bolt home & collapsed shaking when I.got through the door ! … ..35 yrs later and diagnosed with MS ,I got a Hackney cab ( considered far safer in the UK) home & noticed the driver checking me out in the mirror so I got him to drop me off 2 doors away .About 40 mins later there was a ring on my doorbell,looked through the spyhole to see the driver & I opened the door with the security chain on thinking I’ s left something behind in his cab.The guy had a strong Nigerian accent but I could make out that he was saying he wanted to come into my home for a coffee & ‘ get to know me better’ ..then I… Read more »

Jesus, you would think being 50 year old with MS would be enough of a turnoff but nothing stops these jungle bunnies from wanting coffee and cookies huh.
If I was gonna chance a prison sentence I at least woulda chosen a firm late teens-early 20s “girl”. Not someone needing a fucking walking stick yuck!
