Trapped

Trapped (2002) is a kidnapping thriller you can watch online on iFILM, starring Charlize Theron and Kevin Bacon under director Luis Mandoki.

Three criminals have a routine that works. Split the parents up, grab the child, and hold everyone for exactly one day until the ransom changes hands. The families usually pay and stay quiet. This time the target is a doctor's household: Theron plays the mother, Stuart Townsend the father, and a young Dakota Fanning their daughter. The ringleader (Bacon) and his accomplice, played by Courtney Love, think they have covered everything. The mother, watched inside her own home, starts hunting for the crack in their plan.

The clock drives everything. The story cuts between three locations at once — the house, a moving car, and the motel where the girl is held. Mandoki keeps the camera tight on faces, so the dread builds from small mistakes and held breath rather than chases. Stream Trapped (2002) online on iFILM.
