I wouldn't have rented this flick, my long-suffering spouse did and it was better than I expected. Enough action to keep you awake. I do have to take issue with Russell Crowe's acting in the film. His low-key (some might even characterize it as dull) approach makes Steven Segall look positively dynamic by comparison. Overall, worth the price of admission, but only if you're looking for second tier entertainment.
Follow Ups:
What surprised me, in spite of the advance hype, was what I considered the lack of chemistry between Crowe and Ryan. If that's electricity, I need a battery charge.Actually, the most interesting performance in the film and the most fleshed-out character was the guy who played Ryan's hostage husband -- and I can't even remember his name! Shame on me. Of all the actors, he's the one who has to portray the emotional transformation -- the before and after -- of someone who has been through such a harrowing experience. And I think he does it quite convincingly.
So, in the middle of this action/romance star vehicle for Crowe and Ryan, you discover a real story, portrayed by a real actor who knows his craft.
Kind of a nice surprise, I think.
I agree. But the movie worked on other levels for me as well. The plot kept my attention, and the action was pretty good.
