Fahad H Same old story of a diplomat getting kidnapped by terrorists in foreign country for ransom and the hero goes there to rescue him.Absolutely no newness to this film here! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Public S I like the way how the movie is made. The diplomat is not trained and they act exactly someone know nothing except seeking all ways on how to survive. The storyline was amazing, and I believe there is some adding scene which is meant to make the movie more exciting. Overall I enjoy the movie, it gives U suspense, tensed and unexpected ending. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Marc Z Ransomed is a Well balanced Thriller. This Well Go USA release is loosely based on real events that took place in the lead up the critically important 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics. When a previously kidnapped Korean Diplomat in Lebanon turns out to be alive a Korean Diplomatic office worker, played smartly by Ha Jung-woo, goes on a mission to deliver the ransom money and secure his release. When the mission gets dangerous and complicate he is forced to partner with an ex-pat, Korean taxi driver living in the area. That character is played by Ju Ji-hoon, and he is really, really great to watch. The film has elements of a spy thriller, action film, with the balance of the comedic aspects of an American "Buddy Film". There were times it reminded me of Escape to Mogadishu, which was more serious; at times of Argo; and at other times, Rush Hour. The end result of the film is one that is highly watchable and engaging. I highly recommend it. The acting, script, Direction, and cinematography are all very good. The supporting cast is very good in this, both on the Korean side, and inside of Beirut. Watch it in Korean, with English subititles. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Kennedi L This unlikely duo (Ha Jung-wo and Ju Ji-hoon) just have so much chemistry with each other supported by a great strong script and beautiful cinematography that captures the small alleys of car chasing or urban gun fighting and beautiful countryside landscape. Director Seong Hun Kim just top-notch taking his time to build the duo characters and let them blend into each other smoothly. The story telling just smooth and by the end of the movie, you want to watch more of this likable duo's adventure. Highly entertaining and beautiful cinematography with top-notch acting by the two protagonists. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Candice C Director Kim, Seong-Hun has done it again. Based on true event, Ransomed is full of action that kept me on edge until the moment of release through funny/heart warming moments. Just when you are about to lose hope, the most unlikely characters' good nature is provoked through a wake-up call to the heart. This movie definitely has a message to tell the world. Deep, thought provoking, full of heart and hope. My hats off to all the casts and director Kim. Definitely worthy of Academy Awards 👍 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/08/23 Full Review Sal D Very appealing film with threads of a true story about the kidnapping of a South Korean diplomat in Lebanon. If you like ex-US, you'll likely enjoy this movie too. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
