4/5
"from its opening 'shot', Secuestro Express takes its captive audience at gunpoint on a heart-pounding tour of crime, corruption and class war in downtown Caracas."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

1.5/5
"As a kidnap thriller, Secuestro Express is a complete bore, but what's worse is that it occasionally seems to imagine it's making a point."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

"An unpleasant watch that showed how sleazy films can get in trying to imitate reality and Tarantino."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"Like swimming in sewage for an hour an a half--which may be the intention, but is still neither a terribly pleasurable or edifying experience."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

4/5
"A grim and powerful depiction of the long day's journey into night experienced by a couple kidnapped by a trio of angry young men from the ghetto in Caracas, Venezuela."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/5
"From a filmmaking angle, it's a movie to be studied, but from a writing angle, it could have been so much better."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr
