Clearing, The

Aroview: An unusually flavoured and structured kidnapping thriller, in which wealthy entrepeneur Redford is abducted by a polite, former-employee (Dafoe).

Meanwhile, Redford's wife (Mirren) maintains her pristine poise as the FBI attempt to unravel the case, and carelessly revealed family secrets begin to spread unwanted disorder. Constructed around nuanced and well-developed characters, this is unpredictable and intelligent throughout, despite suffering a certain lack of intensity.
