Ransom (1996)

Sorry, but it’s not drama. It’s melodrama.

It’s a “thriller” by Ron Howard.

He’s just out of his league, man.

Mel Gibson’s character goes unhinged (for a good reason).

I mean, this isn’t any $70,000 bullsh1t.

This must be the prequel, where the ante’s WAY upped but there’s an actual reason (beyond Greed).

Pathetic. The Greed one, that is.

P.S. – My website makes no money, I am purely a free unprofessional critic.

1:09:35 – Things get interesting. But how could they NOT, given the subject and the twist?

Still just a Ron Howard film though.

I *hate* melodrama. I really do…can’t you feel it? From me, not the movie.

Because they try to pull on heart-strings that shouldn’t need pulling, rendering the entire genre less dependable.

1:38:35 – You’ve gotta be FCKEN kidding me…
