The debut for Halle Berry new thriller Kidnap has debuted on the Internet, and it’s packed with action. She portrays a mother whose son is abducted from a playground, and immediately springs into action to chase down her son’s kidnapper.
The trailer is reminiscent of the Taken movies, which is centered around an abduction as well, but it’s Halle Berry’s character that is tasked with tracking down the attacker and exacting revenge.
At the end of the trailer Berry is even dropping one-liners like male action stars as she utters, “You took the wrong kid,” before taking a swing with a shovel. Halle spoke with USA Today on how having children of her own really got her hyped for the role:
“Being a parent, I understood this in a very visceral way. I play an ordinary mom forced to act in extraordinary ways,” says Berry, who also has a 2-year-old son, Maceo. “I got to put in a little of what Halle Berry would do in this situation. That was fun.”
This looks like a fun, exciting, thriller that is sure to have you yelling out loud at the movie theater. Kidnap is set to hit theaters on December 2nd.
