Kidnapped 2010

  • Catharsis Factor: Seeing Isa killing the Strong Thief by smashing his head with a statuette is quite satistfying considering that the latter was a psychopathic rapist of the worst kind.
  • Complete Monster:
    • The "Head Thief" is the cold-blooded leader of the home invaders. He leads his gang in performing a variety of home invasions and kidnappings, threatening the families of wealthy men for money before killing them anyway, with the film opening on a victim left to suffocate after his wife is shot. Later staging another break-in, the Head Thief forces father Jaime to withdraw loads of money from ATM machines, or else his wife Marta and teen daughter Isa will be raped and tortured while Jaime listens. After Jaime gets the drop on the Head Thief and seemingly saves his family from the other kidnappers, the Head Thief returns and bashes Jaime's head in before gunning down Isa's boyfriend and Marta. The Head Thief then stabs the sobbing Isa to death, annihilating the entire family out of nothing but petty spite for being outdone.
    • The "Strong Thief" is one of the Head Thief's two Co-Dragons and indisputably the more monstrous compared to his nervous, out-of-his-depth partner the "Young Thief". When the Strong Thief is tasked to guard Jaime's wife and teenage daughter, the Strong Thief makes clear his plans to murder them even if they cooperate, horrifying his partner. The Strong Thief mercilessly murders a security guard and tortures Isa's boyfriend, then—out of boiling frustration—rapes Isa himself. When Marta desperately tries to offer herself in her daughter's place, the Strong Thief just breaks her arm and throws her aside.
