Ransom (1996)

Cast: Mel Gibson (Tom Mullen), Rene Russo (Kate Mullen), Brawley Nolte (Sean Mullen), Gary Sinise (Det. Jimmy Shaker), Liev Schreiber (Clark Barnes)
For complete info, see IMDb's Ransom page.

It might be time to give up on watching previews for a while. I go through phases where I just read brief info about movies, see who's in them, and decide whether or not to see them based on that. I get sick of seeing too much in the previews. Ransom is a perfect example of a movie where the previews tell you everything. I picked this movie for my birthday and none of us were pleased by it. We all pretty much agreed that we'd seen all the interesting plot points in the previews, since we see a lot of movies. It's a shame, since the cast is really good and we believe the movie had potential. Perhaps if I'd seen no previews I would have found Ransom more interesting, but it's hard to say, since I did see the previews.

Grade: C+
