Philandering industrialist Stanislas Graff (Yvan Attal) is kidnapped, with his ransom set at 50 million euros. After his finger is chopped off to prove the abductors' seriousness, his wife, Francoise (Anne Consigny), meets with the board of directors to discuss how to raise the money quickly — but evidence of Stanislas' adultery and gambling make the company reluctant to pay. As rumors spread that Stanislas staged the kidnapping to take care of his debts, public sentiment turns against him.

Belvaux establishes the professionalism of the kidnappers and observes the poker-faced boardroom violence of Stanislas's firm. A late attempt at Chabrolian irony doesn't take, but the story is entertainingly tense while it lasts.

3/4

"Rapt'' is smooth, cool, and efficient. It's a movie with very little wasted motion - or, for much of its length, wasted emotion.

3/4

What lends "Rapt" its fascination is that it represents such a dramatic fall from grace for its hero.

7.5/10

Belvaux writes his characters in shades of greys, and his cast is smart enough to play on that moral ambiguity as much as possible.

For a film that's so steeped in our relationship with acquiring wealth, "Rapt"'s greatest quality is that it's richly told.
