Jerod S You can't really go wrong with Howard and Gibson...the tension and suspense is built well. Kidnapping and a $2 mil ransom. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review thiago s Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é bacaninha, o elenco é bacaninha, e alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, mas o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Tim M Uncompromisingly dark but equal parts thrilling, Ransom continuously subverts viewer expectations en route to a memorable experience. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Alain E Excellent entertainment with a lot of twists and turns, plus a healthy dose of violence. It did do very well at the box office and remains very watchable. Interesting that some professional critics were disappointed that the rich guy, played wonderfully by Mel Gibson, is the upright character. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Crey Fish S A gripping action/thriller with enough surprises and good direction from Ron Howard. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Audience Member What's the real ransom? Director Ron Howard makes a nail-biting action thriller starring Mel Gibson, Renee Russo, Lilli Taylor, Gary Sinese, Armand Assante, and Delroy Lindo Tom Mullen is rich but it didn't happen overnight, he made his money on his own building a successful airline He has a loving wife, Kate and a boy named Sean Things go off the rails when a group of criminals kidnap Tom's son and ask for a bit of his cash in return..$2 million to be exact The FBI asks to step in but the situation escalates Tom now takes matters into his own hands by placing the same money as a bounty on the kidnappers in order get Sean back by announcing it on tv But the authorities may not be on the same playing field as Tom races against the clock Lots of fueled performances and some shocking turns Yet the film forgets to put in the actual thrills The first 30 min are lagging then it picks up again But by the end it quiets down so much The plot barely makes any sense 100% but Gibson and Russo are committed playing these parents desperate to get their kid back It's unorthodox but any person with a child would do anything for their safe return, even consider the thinking strategy for criminals and not just about the money It's too long and could inject more pulse-pounding yet the script is still intelligent enough to work Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
