"Rapt'' is smooth, cool, and efficient. It's a movie with very little wasted motion - or, for much of its length, wasted emotion.
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe

What lends "Rapt" its fascination is that it represents such a dramatic fall from grace for its hero.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
"Rapt" fuses strands of dramatic tension in a shrewd enough way that it even saves its sharpest cuts for the kidnapping's aftermath, when a well-heeled life laid bare must reconcile with a much different form of enforced solitude.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
What distinguishes "Rapt" from other kidnapping movies is that, virtually as soon as he is abducted, details of his life start coming out.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
Both a compelling character study and a handsomely mounted procedural, at various times suggesting Hitchcock, his French acolyte Claude Chabrol, the sadistic TV series "24" and the action movies of Michael Mann.
