Excellent but underrated film
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Yes, you may think of RANSOM, both 56 and 97 films, starring Glenn Ford for the first and Mel Gibson for the second. Cameron Mitchell plays here an American business in UK, a widower raising his son alone. And this very son is kidnapped. Mitchell's character is of course wealthy. And he doesn't want the police to interfere with the ransom delivery to the abductors. He doesn't want to jeopardize his son's life. He decides on the other way to take care alone of this affair. The following is predictable. Not a bad film, just entertaining enough to keep you awake. But nothing really exceptional here. A rare film, as I can see; no comment for it.
