Ransom

Having never seen or heard of this film before I was a bit apprehensive about buying but glad I did, think it’s a little known Connery film which is a shame as it’s actually a good film with a few twists to keep you watching till the end, the Blu ray version is of good quality as you would hope.

A great little action film reminiscent of the many ‘hijack thrillers’ of the seventies.Connery plays it absolutely straight and a Young Ian McShane is actually rather menacing as the bad guy.A little gem.

Just a quick comparison between the original Cinema Club DVD and the recent Network release.Don't be too eager to dismiss the original; if you examine the two versions, there are pros and cons to both. The Cinema Club disc does have more noticeable grain and framing could be a little better, although the picture does appear very slightly sharper. Network's release has an improved ratio but picture quality is softer and with more muted colours.Sound is a little quiet on both, but I think the original still gets the nod.Of course this is all very subjective, but I had nothing better to do tonight.

If you think that if Connery was still doing Bond he would have been in the much warmer climes as Phucket & Hong Kong doing The Man With The Golden Gun. But instead Connery is in the very cold, snowy & wet Scandanavia with a film that feels like a tv movie, It has the feel of an episode of Bergerac to me. It's a slightly boring plot that left me not really understanding what was going on and not really caring as it continued. Connery continues or starts his ability to be Scottish of accent no matter where he is from, here he is meant to be Scandinavian. Not a film I would go out of my way to watch again, but mearly ok

I had never seen this film before but had read some of the other reviews. It is a very different film from that you would expect to see Sean Connery in and reflects the fact that he is able to act and to bring any character to life. A well plotted tale of betrayal and terrorism.

An excellent movie, well cast and acted, with plenty of surprises throughout the plot. It is even believable. A second viewing allows full appreciation of all its nuances.

Big fan of Connery but this film is rubbish.

everything has described terrific picture quality
