Critic Reviews of "Ransom"
Chicago TribuneJanuary 22, 2014The special nature of this story is its many climaxes that border on false endings and also how Gibson's character responds to the ransom demand of $2 million.... it is Gibson who sells us on it and sells it well.
Washington PostJanuary 22, 2014There are more climaxes in here than in a Swedish blue movie. This is not to say you won't 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.
Philadelphia InquirerJanuary 22, 2014That's interesting stuff, but it doesn't play out with a lot of smarts. And the opportunity to end Ransom on a creepy note of unpredictability is forsaken for the usual glass-shattering, bullets-flying finale.
Orlando SentinelJanuary 22, 2014With a mechanical movie like this, filmmakers -- male or female -- can't take chances. Howard and company are hostages to their own conception.
Seattle TimesJanuary 22, 2014Mel Gibson and Rene Russo put an edgy 1990s spin on the roles originally played by Glenn Ford and Donna Reed.
Wall Street JournalJanuary 22, 2014By the time Tom Mullen has turned into an action superhero in a clumsy climax, Ransom has run out of ideas, and we've lost track of what we felt about a father's frantic efforts to save his son.
Baltimore SunJanuary 22, 2014Howard directs for speed and force. The movie moves so quickly it yanks you by too many niggling doubts and the action scenes are so good that you wonder why Opie hasn't shown this much vicious pizazz before.
Christian Science MonitorJanuary 22, 2014Ron Howard has directed the action smoothly and efficiently, but be warned that there's a great deal of hard-hitting violence.
People MagazineJanuary 22, 2014A slick, slam-bang thriller about a business tycoon's frenzied efforts to get back his kidnapped son, Ransom is meant to divert and entertain. It does.
TV GuideJanuary 22, 2014As is often the case, the scumbags are far more interesting than the good guys.
South Florida Sun-SentinelJanuary 22, 2014Ransom benefits handsomely from a story that remains compellingly believable, even as the plot twists become more baroque. Be warned, though, that Ransom is a violent film, with bloody shootouts that will not be easy to watch.
Philadelphia Daily NewsJanuary 22, 2014Ransom is more cleverly conceived than most run-of-the-mill Hollywood exploitation thrillers, and for a while appears headed to a memorable, richly ironic conclusion.
