Movie Review: Ransom
Summary: 5 Stars
Tom Mullen is a wealthy corporate executive used to mediating tough business deals, and doing things his own way. Along with his beautiful wife Kate and son Sean, Tom has all the material trappings of success, including a Fifth Avenue penthouse, an enviable position in New York society and high media visibility. But when the thing he cherishes most--his young son--is abducted by desperate criminals and held for ransom, Tom's world of affluence and privilege comes crashing down. And after an FBI rescue operation fails, he engineers a dangerous countermeasure in a last chance effort to bring his boy back to safety. With his son's life hanging precariously in the balance, and his wife terrified by the shocking plan, Tom offers an appalling proposal, the response to which could easily result in the loss of his son forever. If you're looking for intense drama, suspense, and amazing acting, "Ransom" has it all.
Movie Review: loaded with suspense and tension (4.5/5)
Summary: 5 Stars
i liked this movie.it has some edge of your seat moments,and great
acting.while the acting is credible,i'm not sure how realistic the
actions of some of the characters are.there is a twist which i figured
out right away,the first time i watched it.i think that's because it
just seemed so obvious.nevertheless,the movie is fun and
thrilling,and action packed right to the end.Mel Gibson puts in a
strong performance as does Gary Sinise.Rene Russo is also good,but has
a small role.i also liked Delroy Lindo.i thought he was good in his
role.interestingly,the Laser disc version of the film is apparently 139
minutes,,while the DVD version is only 121
minutes.i'm curious about the missing 17 minutes.anyway,for me,Ransom
is an 4.5/5
Movie Review: "Gimme Back My Son!" Terrific, Nail-Biting Suspense Thriller With A Top-Notch Cast,
Summary: 5 Stars
From director Ron Howard ("Apollo 13") comes a gripping tale of ransom and a race against time. Academy Award winner Mel Gibson stars, with Rene Russo ("Lethal Weapon 3"), Delroy Lindo and Gary Sinise ("Apollo 13,"
"Snake Eyes"). The film is well-written and ably directed. Very suspenseful to the final minutes. SPOILER!!! I just HATED the scenes where a male kidnapper was sympathetic to the kid. In my opinion, that was disgusting. The female should have been more sympathetic and loving to the kid, though she was a little kind to him towards the end. Rated R for language and some violence, but it should've been PG-13.
Movie Review: Mel Gibson's best acting
Summary: 5 Stars
Mel Gibson really turns it on in this movie about a wealthy father who's young son is kidnapped. Without giving away the plot, Mel's character responds in an unusual way that launches an exciting storyline. Three scenes in this movie are amazing; the first is when Mel breaks down on a balcony with his wife played by Rene Russo. The second is when Mel goes on TV. The third is when...well I won't give the third one away.
A must see if you enjoy suspense/crime thrillers.
Movie Review: one of the better remakes
Summary: 5 Stars
I usally dont care for remakes! This was a remake of a 1955 version with Donna Reed and Glen Ford. But this is much better the raw emotion of Mel Gibson and Renee Russo just made the movie just so completly come into place. I had tears in my eys through out the whole movie. The commentary with Ron Howard is great also. A must have for any collection!!!
