I've seen several reviews for this film over the years, most feeling Frantic is average and carried by Harrison Ford's usual strong character performance. The film itself is better than simply relying on Ford. The Parisian atmosphere and loneliness of an American struggling against stubborn authorities (not just French) to find his kidnapped wife. His only help is a temptuous French girl involved in illegal trafficing and Ford's character's own battle falling for the girl but facing upto his love for his wife forms a subtle backdrop. I've always liked this film, and it makes for a good evenings viewing which draws you in scene by scene.

Format:DVD
drama of the highest quality,from start to finish frantic keeps the viewer enthralled,twisting and turning until the tragic ending.ford delights as the frustrated husband searching for his lost wife in a foreign city,finally finding hope in michelle,before being reunited with his spouse.three things make this film,paris,michelle and finally ford frustrated beyond belief at each turn of the way.he as always comes across as mr.dependable but also shows his vunerable side no more so than the scene in the night club.
all i can say is see this film,top class acting,top class drama.

A convention in Paris, a wife gone missing, an incompetent officialdom, a girl in a tight red dress, Israelis and Arabs competing for a hi-tech trophy... out of this mix Roman Polanski fashions a top-notch suspense-drama. The film's attention to detail and pacing are marks of the very best movie story-telling. Harrison Ford is as good as he gets (which is pretty good) but he is outshone by Emannuelle Seigneur and a fabulous supporting cast. I have seen this a few times now, and it does not fade.

Don't buy this cheesy film
I bought this film because I like Harrison Ford. It must be a bit of an embarrassment to him I should think, because it is slow, bizarre, and, well, dare I say, cheesy.

An old plot well worn out.
I found this story had too many plots within it that I had already seen in several other film before and which I have to say had been done much better, much more dramatically and... Read more

Minor classic.
There appears to be a particular genre that never fails to please. That of the thriller set in a European location. There are countless examples, Ronin, In Bruges, etc. Read more
