Just watched the movie. Very good story. Great acting, enjoyed.

I love watching Robert Redford - whatever the film. Odd role for Helen Mirren though. I enjoyed watching it as I had not seen it before. Odd ending too.
It was a very good film, good story line. It was quite psychological which is why i bought it. It was about a couple who had sort of drifted apart but still in love. The husband gets kidnapped and the wife is heartbroken. It turns out she knew of an affair but still loves and wants her husband back. There is a big ransom for his release which she pays but her husband is killed by the kidnapper. The husband and the kidnapper have quite in-deepth conversations about each other whilst in each others company. The ending is sad as they both realise that they loved each other very very much.
I saw this dvd on an advert on another dvd it looked amazing something that i would like as im a dvd fanatic lol.. but em as soon as i started to watch it i wasnt impressed it was an okay dvd acting was good but there wasnt much of a story line to it, the ending isnt very good it doesnt explain a thing and your left hanging basically its very limp. it is worth a watch but dont get your hopes set high as its quite dissapointing. i would reccomend other films like law abiding citizen, fracture etc. if your into action / violence
It was an interesting film, but not as good as I expected from the cast. It wasn't a waste of my time, but slightly disappointed.
Good film. Although not an awful lot happens, tension is created well and the attention does not wander. I bought the dvd because I am a great fan of Helen Mirren. I admired her ability to hold the American accent and, as usual, she sailed through the film majestically. Redford looks his age but those blue eyes are amazing. William Dafoe rather stole the film with his quiet but riveting performance.
A great Helen Mirren film. Essential for any Mirren fan who wants to see a highly emotive, gripping and stunning performace from the Dame. :)
THE FILM IS NOT HELENS TYPE OF MOVIE, FAR TO SLOW, NOTHING HAPPENS TO ENHANCE THE STORY LINE,THE TRAILER DOES THIS FILM JUSTICE, 2 OUT OF 10,,,,,
I found this a bit difficult to follow at first, but after 5/10 minutes i was gripped!!! the cas is excellent and you will be on the edge of your seat until the end of the film!! I would watch this one again just to see Robert Redford again!!
Not quite excellent but very good indeed. There isn't an option for that. Really well acted by Redford and Defoe. Keeps you guessing till the end. Buy it you won't be dissapointed.
