Oscar winner Halle Berry has been relatively absent from the big screen in recently years, but she could be in for a serious comeback with Kidnap. The thriller stars Berry as a mother whose young son (Sage Correa) is kidnappped. Confronted with the reality that few abducted children are ever found, she takes the law into her own hands, and a wild chase ensues. The movie seems like Liam Neeson territory, except it’s even more intense because, as everyone knows, you don’t mess with a mama bear’s cubs.
The new trailer for Kidnap barely shows the son or the bad guys. It’s a real showcase for Berry, who has proven in movies as diverse as Monster’s Ball and X-Men that she has great dramatic chops as well as the makings of an action hero. And here, she combines the two. Interestingly enough, this movie is written by Knate Gwaltney, who also worked on the script for the upcoming X-Men spin-off New Mutants. The director is Luis Prieto (Pusher), and the release date for this is August 4.
