Halle Berry fights to rescue her abducted son in new action-packed ‘Kidnap’ trailer

Halle Berry will go to any lengths to save her son in the first trailer for Kidnap. The preview, released today by Relativity Media, is an intense, action-packed look at Berry’s character’s attempt to stop the people who abducted her child.

The trailer starts off with an everyday mother-son outing, complete with a game of Marco Polo at the park. However, Berry soon starts to worry when her son (played by Sage Correa) stops answering. She gets increasingly frantic as she tries to find him, and then her worst fears are realized when she spots a stranger pulling him into their car.

From that point on, the intensity is dialed way up. Berry’s character proves herself willing to do anything, from grabbing onto a moving car to driving backwards on the freeway. She may own a minivan, but she is a woman who won’t be stopped, even if she has to dump a person out of her moving vehicle, cause car wrecks, wield weapons, or dodge bullets.

At one point, Berry’s character goes to the police, but after being told to “wait” so they can file a report, she sees all the missing child posters on the wall and refuses. “That’s what all these people did,” she says. “They waited.”

From there, it is right back to the action. Berry somehow manages to relocate the kidnapper’s car and goes careening after it.

“Let me tell you something: As long as my son is in that car, I will not stop,” we hear her say in voiceover. “Wherever you go, I will be right behind you. You took the wrong kid.”

The action thriller is directed by Luis Prieto and the script was written by Knate Gwaltney. Kidnap hits theaters on December 2.

Netflix is streaming the craziest action movie of 2024. Here’s why I loved it
A man floating in air kicks another man in the face in City Hunter.

This month seems to be the time to release action movies that color outside the lines. We've already had Dev Patel's Monkey Man, a messy, throw-everything-at-the-wall action movie that blends intricate fight sequences and on-the-nose social commentary in an entertaining package that will surely gain cult status in the near future. Just this weekend, Boy Kills World dished out loads of cartoon violence and over-the-top gore in a bid for John Wick-level fandom. Both movies bend or break the rules of reality to deliver quickly cut fight scenes that push the boundaries of the genre, all in an attempt to one-up the high standards set by the best movies in the Mission: Impossible and Fast and Furious franchises.

Yet the best of the April bunch is the one that has the lowest profile. City Hunter doesn't star anyone you'd recognize like It actor Bill Skarsgård in Boy Kills World and hasn't been backed by an extensive marketing campaign like Universal's Monkey Man. But the movie is a blast; it's like putting Pop Rocks in a can of Mountain Dew and chasing it down with a couple of Pixy Sticks. It's ludicrous, immature, and totally unrealistic. It's also my favorite action movie of 2024. Here's why you need to stream City Hunter pronto.
It's an adaptation of a massively popular franchise

10 best Netflix shows with more than 5 seasons, ranked
A woman puts a crown on a man in The Crown.

Netflix is home to many great shows. It's also the most prolific and well-known streaming service of them all, with a large catalog of original and acquired content. However, the King of Streamers is also famous for being quite trigger-happy. Indeed, Netflix is no stranger to canceling its shows, even if it spent millions producing them; if they don't yield immediate results, the streamer will pull the plug without blinking an eye.

Still, many original shows have beaten the cancellation curse and had a successful life, at least by streaming standards. These shows are Netflix's best efforts that actually got to enjoy a full life cycle, receiving more than five seasons. None might come close to the 100-episode mark, but these beloved series prove to hopeful showrunners everywhere that there is indeed life on Netflix after season 5.
