Movie Reviews of Robert Louis Stevensons's: Kidnapped
Movie Review: Unusually Good Adventure Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Now, as some other reviewers have said, I have not read R L Stevenson's original work, but taken aside from the book, this is a great adventure movie!
The acting is great, from James Pearson, who plays Davie, on down to Ransome the unfortunate cabin boy (Jake Lindesay) and the old "Weaver Woman" (Ginette McDonald).
I've read various opinions as to whether or not it was actually filmed in Scotland, and can't say myself, but the scenery was beautiful, regardless. The sets, also, are well done.
We go through quite a few well-done suspenseful moments in the plot, and the camera work is masterful throughout- working very well with the acting and other components to add to the mood. I particularly noticed very good and carefully angled close ups at tense moments, and a couple unusual but effective view points.
Also, no bad language or adult scenes, which is a big [RARE] plus.
~ The only negative points I have:
3-4 times I noticed a strong change in the lighting from one shot to another in the same scene. This was rather distracting.
And more negatively, the ending seemed a little too happily-ever-after sweet. Everything worked out. Not too realistic. But I admit, I liked it that way! _ This is one adventure movie my family plans to see again.
