FRANTIC(1988)
Harrison in another mystery movie about a member of his
family being kidnapped(See Firewall)!! In this one it's
Harrison's(a doctor) wife who's been whisked away while
visiting in Paris! All about drugs and smuggling!!
Sadly this relies heavily on Harrison's carrying the
whole movie by himself, as therre are no other name
actors here, and while he does fine, it's just not
enought to carry this boring movie! B-
From IMDb.com:
The story is very realistic and very exciting. Polanski
is excellent. The attention to detail is typical of him.
It bears watching a couple of times to savor the perfection.
Goes to show you don't need too many special effects or
violence - just a good story.
Harrison is good here. One of his best drama roles before
he got too old looking. Totally believable. Even Betty
Buckley is memorable in her short role. Great on location
atmosphere in Paris.
Emanuelle Seigner is very captivating with her amoral
charm. Her dancing at the club to tango music is memorable.
One of the best thrillers since Hitchcock. - phd_travel
