Ransom (1996)

★★★★1/2

Multimillionaire airline owner Tom Mullen’s son gets kidnapped by an unknown group of blue-collard criminals. In order to get him back they organize an exchange; Mullen gives them $2 million dollars for his son but when things go wrong, the stakes are raised and Mullen suspects that they will kill his son no matter if he gives them money or not. Now, in order to get him back, he must take the law into his own hands even if it means losing his wife or worse… his son. I really enjoyed this movie. It was slow at times but the performances by Gibson and Sinise are phenomenal. It’s gripping, highly entertaining and very different ‘revenge’ movie.
