Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Secuestro Express leaves you feeling like a bit of a hostage yourself. Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: Jakubowicz will undoubtedly become a filmmaker to follow, as soon as he understands what he wants to say -- not just how loud he wants to say it. Read more
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle: Secuestro Express seems less interested in dramatizing the crushing inequities of that nation than in serving up hefty doses of sadism and titillation. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: A well-intentioned copy but one that holds much promise for its first-time director. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Jakubowicz is a whiz at setting up an exceedingly tense predicament and then building upon it a nearly unbearable suspense with ingenuity and insight. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: Too often, though, Jakubowicz falls back on his relentlessly pirouetting DV camera, attention-deficient editing and ear-splitting sound effects as a substitute for real tension. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Secuestro Express leaves you feeling as much a hostage as the story's victims -- more to the point, as if you've slept in the same clothes for more than three days. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Part exploitation thriller and part sociopolitical statement, Secuestro Express is a little too enamored of its own gangsta cool to be taken seriously. Read more

Nona Willis-Aronowitz, Village Voice: As social commentary, Secuestro Express doesn't go much further than regurgitating character types (poor little rich girl, thief with heart of gold) and reminding us of Caracas's class differences. Read more
