Synopsis:
Malcom King (Anthony Anderson) is a wealthy black businessman. He gets harassed by his wife (Kellita Smith) for a divorce settlement worth million dollars and his arrogance in his office creates lot of enemies to him. One fine day, he wants to kidnap himself in order to make his wife a culprit and then to avoid alimony. But things go wrong as he bumps into the wrong guy.

What I liked in the film?
The premise of the plot and the take off point is good.

What I did not like in the film?
The film loses its steam once the kidnap takes place. There is no consistency in the characterization of Malcom who builds a million dollar company. The way he behaves in the story is erratic and the climax point is a huge let down. Kidnap films like there need slick screenplay. But screenplay in this film is not up to the mark.

Tailpiece:
You may watch 'Ruthless People' (Money in Telugu) - a film on similar line - one more time than watching this flick.
