### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Is and always will be the definitive kidnapping movie
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2016*

This is a superb thriller with expert direction from Ron Howard and a first rate cast. Mel Gibson is excellent as always along with a terrific turnaround performance by the criminally underrated Gary Sinise. Originally Alec Baldwin was supposed to play Sinise's part which I'm curious how that would've been. I think him and Gibson would've been great onscreen together but Sinise nails it perfectly. This is a terrifically thrilling, intense and intelligent kidnapping thriller that is the best of them. Usually can't go wrong with Ron Howard.

    Better than the 1956 original version
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2013*

This film is definitely better than the gripping original 1956 version of "Ransom," starring Glenn Ford, and in several ways.  While the original was very dramatic and well made, the ending was quite disappointing, and never seeing the criminals who abducted and held for ransom his son actually detracted from the story line.  The possibilities were excellent, and these were exploited in the Mel Gibson version.  Whatever you think about Gibson's personal challenges, forget them as you watch this film because he is at his dramatic best here, as he takes an incredibly controversial stand in refusing the kidnappers' demands, at the possible expense of everything he holds dear in life.The casting for the film is truly excellent, and Gary Sinese is superlative in his role as the policeman-turned-villian.  Outstanding story line!  The ending of the film was very well done, and will satisfy the viewers who believe that in dealing with criminals who harm children, "what goes around MUST come around!"  This was lacking in Glenn Ford's original version of the story, where there was no visible accountability for the criminals' actions.  Of particular dramatic value is the believability of the inevitable conflict between Gibson and his wife, well-portrayed by Rene Russo, when Gibson announces on the media that he will not meet the kidnappers' demands, and that between Gibson and the public in general.While being very violent in places, this film has a welcome place among my favorite dramas, and is well worth owning.

    Good Remake
  

*by A***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2020*

Still love Mel Gibson and his movies. Don't understand why I haven't seen this one on tv in years and I can't stream it. (???) I recently saw "Ransom" with Glenn Ford and I thought about Gibson's movie and decided to buy the DVD.
