Interesting Phenomenon

I noticed that very often when these TV movies first are aired, the ratings for them are somewhat high. Then as more people review them, they fall to where they more accurately belong.

A few hours ago this movie had a 7.1 rating. It is down to 6.2 as I write this. It should drop further, considering how bad it is. I don't like writing reviews with spoilers in them, so I'll skip all the plot holes that you could drive a cruise ship through. Suffice it to say the plot is ludicrous, and, as is often the case with these movies, the actions of the good guys make no sense.

I generally don't like picking on actors, but Corin Nemec is seriously miscast here. He doesn't do much more than take up space, like a placeholder. I'm not sure he is capable of playing anything other than a nice guy, which just doesn't work in this movie.

The worst part is that there is obviously going to be another sequel, another movie picking up where this one left off. Oh, joy.

The only slightly redeeming quality with this movie is that we get to see Alexandria DeBerry prance around in a teeny bikini through most of the movie. That somewhat distracted me from her vapid acting.

My four stars might be generous. But the bikini itself earned one extra star.

OK, but not as good as the original from 2019

Samaire Armstrong really carries this Lifetime movie with so much drama and physical action. This time with daughter Ellie going to Florida for a beach volleyball championship and her parents go with her. Perfect when younger brother Ian Leblanc is still at large. This movie was OK and the scenery was great but it dragged quite a bit. Not recommended.

VIEWS ON FILM review of Deadly Excursion: Kidnapped from the Beach

"It's finally over". That's what I said to myself after watching Deadly Excursion: Kidnapped from the Beach. "Kidnapped" is a sequel to 2019's Deadly Excursion. I haven't seen the first film and I didn't like this camp fest either. Curiously though, I plan on going back to where it all started with these toolbox characters.

Deadly Excursion: Kidnapped from the Beach was released in January 2021 (with its premiere in Cleveland, OH. Wha?). It's a Lifetime Flick but it sure doesn't feel like one. "Kidnapped" is more like a bad Miami Vice episode with its villains putting on a pseudo macho front. Somewhere in the afterlife the late Tony Montana is also laughing his caboose off.

Deadly Excursion: Kidnapped from the Beach has shoddy production values even for a supposed Lifetime-er (if you look close there's some real fake CGI going on). There's also the worst overacting I've ever seen by Lifetime veteran Corin Nemec. Nemec's David McCarthy gets knocked out on multiple occasions and becomes pierced by a bullet. Surprisingly, the dude gets right back up even though he should be at a hospital getting checked for possible brain damage.

The casting in "Kidnapped", well it's pretty bad. The mother and daughter leads look like they could be sisters. The father and son antagonists appear like they could be brothers. Finally, there's a henchman named Eduardo who looks like Billy Crystal with five pounds of wrinkle cream added.

Deadly Excursion: Kidnapped from the Beach is well, pretty explanatory. It's about a wife, a husband, and their daughter being taken by a crime lord who wants to extort $200,000 from them. Look for most of the proceedings to take place on a beach in Florida (shocker). Also look for some bad, evasive running on screen from star Samaire Armstrong (she's certainly no Joan Benoit).

Before "Kidnapped" concludes, a final scene suggests that the gateway is open to yet another sequel. Here's a proposed title: Deadly Excursion: "Dead" On Arrival.
