Whisper (2007)

Ex-con Max wants to open a restaurant, but the bank won't give him a loan.  So he decides to take some old friends up on an offer to make a big score by kidnapping the eight year old son of a wealthy woman.

After they grab the boy, the group head to a remote cabin to wait for instructions from the mysterious Mr. Jones who is behind the kidnapping.  Max has brought his fiance Roxanne, for some inexplicable reason. She says she's good with kids, but that doesn't seem like a good enough reason to include her in this criminal activity.

Once they are in the cabin, things start to go wrong.  And instead of being frightened, David just takes everything in and starts to make the kidnappers uneasy. He seems to be able to get inside their heads, knows their secrets, and they begin to be afraid of him.

An okay way to pass an hour or so, but nothing special.  Micheal Rooker is one of the bad guys.
