A solid thriller from the mid-90's. Although I felt like some scenes were a bit slow, the last forty-five minutes were excellent. I guess one of the things I found that is most interesting from this film is Mel Gibson's character. I was surprised about how daring he was when he risked his son's life: initially two million dollars for anyone who catches the kidnappers. At times, it seems as though his character is on the verge of madness so it was kind of hard to trust him. I even thought that perhaps he was the surprise mastermind of the kidnapping--he became that scary. It was a nice twist to this kidnapping crime thriller subgenre and I would recommend this film to anyone who is interested in fine performances.
