      The kidnapper doesnt know that Tom is being tailed by police helicopters.) ( Read More )
    • Roger Ebert

      Gibson gives an interesting performance, showing a man trying to think his way out of a crisis, and Sinise makes a good foil: Here are two smart men playing a game with deadly stakes. ( Read More )
    • Geoff Andrew

      The film doesnt just trade on Gibsons dangerous, lunatic machismo, it unearths a colder, more callous and more complex narcissism. ( Read More )
    • Desson Thomson

      There are more climaxes in here than in a Swedish blue movie. This is not to say you wont be thrilled, charged up and put through the ringer at times, but your intelligence will need to be shoved under your seat like warm, flat soda. ( Read More )
    • Steve Davis

      Furthermore, when it isnt confusing moral ambiguity with machismo, Ransom deals in stereotypes so laughably paranoiac of Generation X that you wonder if director Howard televisions seminal hicktown youngster isnt still stuck in a Mayberry state of mind. ( Read More )
