A little 1996 thriller that slipped through the cracks but deserves a look. John Rubinstein (and whatever happened to him?) plays a rich, successful New Yorker who finds his world turned upside down w...( read more  read more... )hen his daughter is kidnapped. A classic snob with no sense of the lives lived by those less fortunate, he finds himself being dragged all over New York--into neighborhoods he never knew existed, let alone ever visited--on the whims of the kidnapper. Directed by Richard Shepard, the film provides an intriguing character study of a man who begins to understand just how little the people in his life really care about him, mostly because the only people he knows are the ones who work for him (who don't count, in his mind). Rubinstein captures his sense of shock that the world, in fact, doesn't revolve around him, even as he must summon untapped resources to save his child. --Marshall Fine
