Halle Berry fights to rescue her abducted son in new action-packed ‘Kidnap’ trailer

Halle Berry will go to any lengths to save her son in the first trailer for Kidnap. The preview, released today by Relativity Media, is an intense, action-packed look at Berry’s character’s attempt to stop the people who abducted her child.

The trailer starts off with an everyday mother-son outing, complete with a game of Marco Polo at the park. However, Berry soon starts to worry when her son (played by Sage Correa) stops answering. She gets increasingly frantic as she tries to find him, and then her worst fears are realized when she spots a stranger pulling him into their car.

From that point on, the intensity is dialed way up. Berry’s character proves herself willing to do anything, from grabbing onto a moving car to driving backwards on the freeway. She may own a minivan, but she is a woman who won’t be stopped, even if she has to dump a person out of her moving vehicle, cause car wrecks, wield weapons, or dodge bullets.

At one point, Berry’s character goes to the police, but after being told to “wait” so they can file a report, she sees all the missing child posters on the wall and refuses. “That’s what all these people did,” she says. “They waited.”

From there, it is right back to the action. Berry somehow manages to relocate the kidnapper’s car and goes careening after it.

“Let me tell you something: As long as my son is in that car, I will not stop,” we hear her say in voiceover. “Wherever you go, I will be right behind you. You took the wrong kid.”

The action thriller is directed by Luis Prieto and the script was written by Knate Gwaltney. Kidnap hits theaters on December 2.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
