Disjointed - Kidnapped review by griggs
Kidnapped tackles institutional abuse but struggles with its storytelling. The real events it's based on, the abuse of papal power, are powerful. However, the film can't decide whether to focus on Italy's political changes during its unification or the misuse of church power. This makes the story feel disjointed, and the true events are more interesting than the way the film tells them.
