[21394] ARQ (2016)
The original post doesn't quite do the movie justice, and so I offer the following update, which includes corrections and additions. I have tried to maintain the OP's style. By the way, the tape gag is seen in one of the photos of the movie's IMDb page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5640450/mediaviewer/rm1104067585

Description: Rachael Taylor finally gets a full treatment scene.

At 3m in, Hannah (Rachael Taylor) and her husband are in the bedroom when masked men entered and take them to the garage, where there is no car, but there is a strange machine, the ARQ. There, Hannah's hands are ziptied to the arms of a chair, but her, bare, feet are left unbound. (Note for feet people: although she is barefoot for most of the movie, we don't see her feet too clearly, except for a decent, if brief, close-up at 51m, as she and her husband creep around the house.) This scene spreads through multiple sequences in the movie, since everything is in a time loop or nonlinear narrative, where Hannah and her husband relive the morning. At 6m, Hannah's husband has freed himself, and he now frees Hannah.

At 44m, Hannah can be finally seen sporting a shiny black tape gag on her mouth (a wide strip of duct tape). She mmpphhs loudly and energetically for quite some time to alert the men outside. When the men hear her and enter the room, she can be seen giving them an angry look. Soon, the gag is peeled off by one of the men, much to her pain. Decent mmpphhing by Taylor, making up for the rather brief gag scene.

At 62m, Hannah is forced to sit on a chair. The principal baddie demands the password for the ARQ from Hannah's husband. She tells him not to reveal it, and so, at a nod from the principal, another baddie covers her face with clear polythene sheet and pulls tight. She struggles and mmpphhs, but cannot force him away. Her husband gives the password, and, eventually, the main baddie instructs the sidekick to relent and remove the polythene.

At 76m, there's a really quick handgag for Hannah, by her husband, only to stop her screaming involuntarily, which would alert the baddies. Hurriedly, they put on shoes (for the first time in the film) and leave the house.
