    Better than the 1956 original version
    This film is definitely better than the gripping original 1956 version of “Ransom,” starring Glenn Ford, and in several ways. While the original was very dramatic and well made, the ending was quite disappointing, and never seeing the criminals who abducted and held for ransom his son actually detracted from the story line. The possibilities were excellent, and these were exploited in the Mel Gibson version. Whatever you think about Gibson’s personal challenges, forget them as you watch this film because he is at his dramatic best here, as he takes an incredibly controversial stand in refusing the kidnappers’ demands, at the possible expense of everything he holds dear in life.The casting for the film is truly excellent, and Gary Sinese is superlative in his role as the policeman-turned-villian. Outstanding story line! The ending of the film was very well done, and will satisfy the viewers who believe that in dealing with criminals who harm children, “what goes around MUST come around!” This was lacking in Glenn Ford’s original version of the story, where there was no visible accountability for the criminals’ actions. Of particular dramatic value is the believability of the inevitable conflict between Gibson and his wife, well-portrayed by Rene Russo, when Gibson announces on the media that he will not meet the kidnappers’ demands, and that between Gibson and the public in general.While being very violent in places, this film has a welcome place among my favorite dramas, and is well worth owning.

    Ransom – Special Edition
    One of the classic Mel Gibson films, “Ransom” is one of those movies which are no longer made nowadays. With a Mel Gibson in the best moment of his career, an exciting story and a great supporting cast, this film provides great entertainment as well as fantastic interpretations. The tension is very well built up, leading to an exciting climax with a fantastic final battle, and in whole the film is a great example of what the action-thriller genre used to be.As for the edition, it provides a great variety of bonus contents which allow us to explore the making of the film and the opinions of the cast.In general, a completely satisfying product which you won’t regret to purchase!
