Its an interesting parallel to see the two main kidnappers relationship undergo stress just as their intended victims do.
The casting is an interesting mix of the mainstream and indie film actors, as they play in both fields. Gary Sinise as the kidnapping mastermind and cop gone bad is evil to the core. Together for years and very wealthy, the stress of having their only child kidnapped combined by Gibsons unorthodox way of dealing with the kidnappers puts real strain on their marriage. Lili Taylor is the indie film queen of the year and gives an interesting performance here, in her first big commercial film, as Sinises lover.
