“Proof of Life” Movie Review

“Proof of Life” Plot Summary

Alice hires a professional negotiator to obtain the release of her engineer husband, who has been kidnapped by anti-government guerrillas in South America. add synopsis

A good and very entertaining thriller with Russell Crowe

While building a dam in ‘Tecala’, a country situated in the Andes, the chief America engineer ‘Peter Bowman’ (David Morse), is captured by anti-government forces during a raid in the capital. When the rebels discover their identity require $3 million to return safe and sound. However, the company of ‘Peter’, based in Houston, is on the brink of bankruptcy and has canceled the insurance policy against kidnappings, so it cannot provide the money for their rescue. Abandoned by the company, ‘Alice’ (Meg Ryan), the wife of ‘Peter’, must cope with the situation by your account. She hires the services of the negotiator of hostages professional ‘Terry Thorne’ (Russell Crowe), a veteran of SAS, which in recent years has dealt with numerous kidnappings.’Proof of Life’ is a film little considered due to high expectations for its attractiveness argument and that is the first film of Russell Crowe after the great success throughout the world with ‘Gladiator.’ But its director Taylor Hackford has not sought a film committed and complaint, only has sought to expose through a current problem, a simple thriller and fairly, conventional with good scenes of action. Its objective is achieved by far, but it is not at all what has been expected of this film

In terms of its scenes of action, they are very successful and generous, with some contribution of tension well managed. The film is conventional within this genre of films. It has not nothing to do not have seen before, but it knows expose very well the action, although the fabric loving can be considered very secondary fulfills its mission,

An Exciting War Movie With a Touch of Romance

This is a story of a gun-for-hire who works for an insurance company that insures executives against being kidnapped for ransom. His job is to pay the ransom and get the hostage out in one piece. Our story surrounds an engineer who works for an oil company somewhere in South America and his wife. He winds up being kidnapped for ransom by a guerilla movement there (fictional, I believe). The gun-for-hire is sent in only to find that the engineer was never actually insured

The story is fast paced and exciting with maybe a few poorly motivated or awkward scenes. The cinematography alone is worth the trip and the combat scenes are exciting and plausible to the casual viewer. There is enough human dialogue to encourage anyone averse to ‘Saving Private Ryan’ grade war violence to see this movie.

One of the best movies

It’s good that i saw this movie after mission impossible 2, because I had lost my faith in Hollywood movie industry completely. This movie shows that there a still some movie makers working there

The acting of all 4 main characters is very, very good. Crowe should get an oscar for his role in the film

The script builds the tension up slowly but surely during the movie, keeping you interested in what happens next. Only after seeing the movie I noticed that it’s duration was over 2 hours. This gives an indication that i was really taken by the story telling and lost track of time

Apart from the great acting/story the almost epic beauty of the jungle shots in the movie are also a sight to behold. The end title sequence feels like an Imax movie. (I saw ‘proof of life’ in a really big theatre).

Only one bit of criticism : Why does every story from hollywood include the ‘boy meets girl’ bit ? Although it’s done very nicely in this movie, it does not need it

I voted the movie a 10, So to sum it up : go see it !
