Short description

Alice Bowman is world-travelled and savvy but nothing could prepare her for this. Rebels in a politically volatile Latin American country have kidnapped her husband for ransom.

Meg Ryan plays Alice and Russell Crowe plays Terry Thorne, the hostage retrieval expert who becomes Alice’s only hope in navigating a high-stakes game where terrorists value money over life, in this thrilling suspense movie. Terry and Alice try to smoke out the perpetrators and rescue Alice’s husband (David Morse)… and as both confront the gnawing awareness that they’re attracted to each other.

    "Proof of Life" is hardly Oscar award-winning stuff but you could definitely do worse. Russel Crowe is up to his usual awesomely cool antics and by my account, his role alone could be said to be the film's redeeming grace. Lots of action and suspense (including a special forces raid on an enemy camp) to keep the guys happy and some token romance is also thrown in to keep the girls watching (as if they needed one aside from Russel Crowe, lol). On a more technical note, the dvd's sound seems to be spot on and I didn't have any problems with playback, so full marks on that account. The special features are standard fare but include a pretty cool "Making of the film" featurette which is also worth watching, so all in all I rate this film quite highly and I'll definitely watch it again soon.
