I bought a DVD set of movies with Harrison Ford in it and I looked forward to Frantic, based on the reviews and ratings here. Unfortunately, it was only a mediocre movie and I was somewhat disappointed. For one thing, it was very dated. and by that I do not mean that you could feel the age from the 80s dress and technology, although you could. Those concerns fade into the background in a movie when the plot is compelling. What i mean is, the writing was so dated. The plot was so unsophisticated. For a simple mix-up, they sure dragged out the discovery and the trade-off. A few things were so unbelievable, like when the bad guys just give up at the end. Like, they've already shot someone. they aren't going to shoot someone else who throws away what they are after?? There were a few things that I liked. I liked the performances, and I like that the relationship between Ford's character and Michelle was not the same old stereotypical sexual tension side-kick role.
