 "Undisclosed Location..." 2009-09-17
By Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein (under the rubble)
Kevin Bacon (Death Sentence) is one of my favorite horror / thriller / suspense actors. Whether playing the victim (Friday The 13th), the hero (Tremors, Stir Of Echoes), or the bad guy (The River Wild, Wild Things, Hollow Man), Bacon is superb. In TRAPPED, he gets another chance to be the bad guy as Joe, the cruel leader of a trio of nefarious kidnappers, along w/ Courtney Love and Pruitt Taylor Vince (Jacob's Ladder, Captivity). Charlize Theron (Monster), Stuart Townsend, and Dakota Fanning (War Of The Worlds) play the targeted family. The first two thirds of the movie are tense and believable, while the last act veers hopelessly off into fantasy / action-land, complete w/ car chases, explosions, and aerobatics! Still, TRAPPED is fun to watch, Ms. Theron is hot enough to melt lead, and the Bacon-factor is high...

I've seen the movie, and I liked it... But, I recently read the book. Now the movie makes more sense. THe book is by Greg Iles- and no, I'm not going to tell you how and where it helps, read it and find out.

I hadn't heard of this movie till I did a search for hottie Stuart Townsend. He's not bad in this film, but Kevin Bacon turned out to be hotter. He was really good and so was Charlize Theron. This was not your typical kidnap/ransom movie, and it had a pretty cool ending.

 "LUIS MANDOKI, OPUS 8" 2008-06-06
By wdanthemanw (Geneva, Switzerland)
** 2002. Based on Greg Iles's 24 Hours and directed by Luis Mandoki. Kevin Bacon's family kidnaps the daughter of the Jennings. Very bad movie of the Mexican director who'll give us, two years later, the masterpiece Innocent Voices though. I wonder whether Luis Mandoki could do better with the material he had to work with. We never feel that the Jennings family is really in danger and the final scene on the highway is rather ridiculous, the extras gently walking between the cars while there are a shootout and a plane/truck collision in front of them. Shame. Already forgotten.

 ""The Best Performance By Any Actress"" 2010-04-21
By Terry Richard (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada)
Critics and film audiences applauded Charlize Theron's revivting performance in 2003's "Monster" which documents the real-life incidents of Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute who went on a killing rampage in the late eighties and early nineties, eventually murdering 7 men. The film details the torment Aileen went through as a young girl, feeling unloved and abused, to the point that she became a street walker. Instead of feeling hatred for Aileen we feel for her as the movie makes the viewer realize the anger and torment a person goes through to get to the point of becoming a prostitute. Even the fact that she becomes a killer still doesn't make us hate her, as there is one terrifying scene where she is raped and battered by a john in the isolated woods. In order to survive she kills this man, which is the starting off point of her murderous rampage. The film is a lesson for us all as we see how society can be insensitive and crue to people, and its that insensitivity that can eventually make monsters out of people. Theron won a well-deserved Academy Award for her portrayal; in the film she gained 30 pounds and wore fake teeth to alter her Hollywood glamorous look. Most critics, even Roger Ebert, stated that Theron gives the greatest performance of any actress in any year. In one word her portrayal is spellbinding. The blueray comes with the trailer, a featurette, and interviews with Patty Jenkins who wrote the screenplay as well as directed the film.

 "Incredible acting performance" 2010-01-31
By Page W. Foster (Charlottesville, VA)
Charlize Theron goes the extra mile in this film to fully bring to life the lead character. Not only emotionally, but physically portraying the life of this criminal hooker. You can fully understand why her life was led so astray. At points you feel sorry for her and understand the circumstances that could lead a person to these extremes. Not a feel good film for sure, but a gripping story that will keep you involved start to finish.

 "Monster (2003) [Blu-ray]" 2010-01-22
By Arnita D. Brown (USA)
A dark tale based on the true story of Aileen Wuornos, one of America's first female serial killers. Wuornos had a difficult and cruel childhood plagued by abuse and drug use in Michigan. She became a prostitute by the age of thirteen, the same year she became pregnant. She eventually moved to Florida where she began earning a living as a highway prostitute--servicing the desires of semi-truck drivers. The tale focuses on the nine month period between 1989 and 1990, during which Wuornos had a lesbian relationship with a woman named Selby. And during that very same time, she also began murdering her clientele in order to get money without using sex. This turned the tables on a rather common phenomena of female highway prostitutes being the victims of serial killers--instead Wuornos, herself, carried out the deeds of a cold-blooded killer. Charlize Theron's performance in this movie is so incredible. It is a sad and moving movie. Never have I felt so disturbed yet riveted by a movie such as this one.

 "The Disappearance of Charlize Theron" 2009-11-30
By The JuRK (Our Vast, Cultural Desert)
MONSTER would still be a good movie without Charlize Theron...but after watching it a couple of times, it is fascinating to watch Ms. Theron literally disappear into this serial killer.



For a woman who is used to walking red carpets and gracing magazine covers, she really becomes an ugly, badly-damaged woman hooking along lonely highways. There isn't a false note in any single frame of this movie. She deserved the Academy Award, that's for sure.



From what I've seen in the documentaries about Aileen Wornos, this film humanizes her more, shifts a little away from her mental illness, and makes Christina Ricci's character more attractive, although it keeps her betrayal of Aileen at the end.



This is a sad, frightening story about women on the outside and the lengths they'll go to find love and acceptance in a dark and horrible world. Even cold-blooded murder.
