Rapt

Yvan Attal’s committed, complex turn as the kidnapped titan of finance is greater than its confines; plot demands never allow his character to fully come to monstrously detached life. A richer and more unusual movie would have done away with the genre exercises and instead started with the moral question mark that this one finishes with.
