Harrison Ford gives a great performance in one of his most underated films. It's a very simple film with a low budget foreign film feel to it. However I feel that works in it favor. it's dark urban grimey feel that... Full review

This movie succeeds through attention to detail, a suspenseful story line, Harrison Ford still in his prime, Emmanuelle Seigner adding rebellious charm and the super use of Grace Jones singing "I've seen that face before" against the backdrop of 1980's Paris.... Full review

Frantic, a film by Roman Polanski is largely unnoticed. He is credited for pictures such as Chinatown and The Pianist, but certainly his best action-adventure flick is this one.The film stars Harrison Ford, who plays a idiotic doctor who cannot... Full review

While I am not the biggest Harrison Ford fan I do give him credit for his library of work. However if this particular movie were not on during a long boring Sunday I would never have watched it, as I write... Full review

"Frantic" is the most Hitchcock-influenced movie of Roman Polanski. The director has touched almost every cinematic genre, although always with a special taste for mysteries and disturbing elements. That's his trademark."Frantic" is a more conventional movie in Polanski filmography, but... Full review

Roman Polanski has an interesting way of returning to tell the story of a simple person whose surroundings, while completely familiar, suddenly become alien and even dangerous. With ROSEMARY'S BABY, neighbors plotted against misguided Mia Farrow; in REPULSION, Catherine Deneuve... Full review

The title does not 100 percent reflect the atmosphere of the film. Yes, as Ford's character rummages through a strange city looking for his kidnapped wife he does become "frantic", it is in a very quiet fashion. No screaming or... Full review
