Conclusion:
This is the kind of film where you do not expect much. At first it seems like one of those films who will be the next day forgotten. In this regard, The Entitled is a real surprise for the viewer. It contains several unexpected and above all good scenes.
What man is able to do when it comes to the edge? How much is really needed to do something unexpected?
In role of Paul can be found everyone and that is what give this film unique charm. Acting is quite average and has plenty of room for improvement. Kevin Zegers is, however, very well acted character of Paul, a young but quite mature man who fully understands the situation in which he found himself. Scenario is good and it may be said more than enough for this kind of film, although they appear small inconsistencies.
The Entitled will be good for those who love movies about kidnappings. It can be an excellent choice for one night but definitely do not expect much from this film.
