 Dan Heller's Movie Review: Ransom
The basic human theme of the movie is Mel Gibson's torment; the events that lead him to reason that negotiation with the kidnapper is futile are obvious, tho still well done.
But, I feel it's wrong to say that Ransom is a good movie simply because it isn't a *bad* movie, but that's how I seem to be rating movies this year.
(How awful!) I guess my basic feeling is, Ransom is a reasonable action/suspect/drama movie that could have (*should* have) been done by Jan De Bont using lesser known actors who need to get out and show their stuff, and using a much smaller budget.

 King's Ransom - Movie Rental Review
The plot of KING'S RANSOM is premised on the fact that everyone who knows Malcolm dislikes him and wants revenge for his meanness.
Variously desperate, Renee, Angela, and Corey plan separately to kidnap Malcolm for ransom, while he and Peaches, along with her paroled brother Herb (Charlie Murphy), plot his kidnapping themselves, to avoid paying Renee a divorce settlement.
Families who enjoy this movie should see the Barbershop movies, Big Momma's House, or Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, all offering relatively smarter, funnier looks at class, race, and gender roles.

  Ransom Movie Review
RANSOM is director Ron Howard's first venture into the action thriller genre, and, although he's working with a solid cast and an auspicious premise, his attempts to emulate suspense maestro Alfred Hitchcock fall short.
The script, which is based on a 1956 movie of the same name, has been re-worked by novelist Richard Price (CLOCKERS) to bring it up to date.
Since there's no way Sean is going to be killed (or a Disney-owned company never would have released the movie), the most compelling questions relate to how he will be recovered and whether anyone will die attempting to save him.

"Ransom" is nothing new in the world of kidnap a child for money movies, but this 1994 thriller has a dream cast and a great director...And it's pretty smart too.
The movie takes a big turn however in the 2nd act, when (after a botched ransom drop) Gibson tells the kidnappers via the local news that he will not pay them 2 million dollars and instead offer it as a bounty to whoever brings the kidnappers to justice.
Twists are common in ransom movies, but they're not always as smart as one like that.

 2005 King's Ransom - Movie reviews, trailers, clips and stills
As is, "King's Ransom" is unobtrusive and virtually painless as an occasionally witty laugher, but lacks the courage of its convictions—and a much-needed R-rating—to follow through with its less commercial ambitions.
The core idea of a wide array of people unknowingly planning to kidnap and hold for ransom a CEO all at the same time is an admittedly fresh one, but the film disappointingly discards it by the halfway point and the proceedings dissolve into a more banal hostage picture that simply spins its wheels.
It deserves to be mentioned, however, that "King's Ransom" ends with perhaps the most cynical, strange postscript ever to be found on a studio comedy: "They divorced six months later." In a motion picture lacking much boldness, this divergence from the norm is, at least, worth a little something.

 King's Ransom - Movie Review
If a truly bad movie — like, say, Gigli — deserves to be bashed, then a miserable, wretched, wholly unredeemable movie like King’s Ransom deserves to be bashed, burned, and have its ashes scattered over Hollywood.
In order to execute his foolproof scheme, Malcolm engages the help of his witless girlfriend, Peaches (Regina Hall), whose chief asset is her abundant booty, which the camera never hesitates to lovingly caress.
But director Jeff Byrd and screenwriter Wayne Conley give these talented performers so little to work with that King’s Ransom is certain to be in the hunt for the crown jewel of bad movies in 2005.

 Ransom Movie Review
In this Ron Howard-directed thriller, based on the 1956 Glenn Ford movie of the same name, Mel Gibson plays Tom Mullen, a self-made millionaire that put together his own airline.
With the strong belief that his son is going to die because of this botched operation (which perpetuates the distrust of government agencies that pervades popular culture these days), Tom marches into a television station.
As the television cameras pan across the two million dollars in bundled in neat little stacks, he tells the audience that the kidnapper will never see this ransom, because it is now the bounty on the kidnapper's head-- an unexpected reversal that is indicative of the intelligent plotting of this movie.

 SPLICEDwire | "King's Ransom" movie review (2005) "King's Ransom" review, Jeff Byrd, Anthony Anderson, Leila Arcieri, ...
Opening in theaters nationwide today, the movie has been kept hidden from critics because, to be blunt, the studio thinks it's garbage and wants to rake in as much money as it can before word gets out.
Already in 2005, four movies have been released without screenings, including "Boogeyman," "Cursed" and "Man of the House" in February alone.
Because when that happens, it's not some cinema snob with a newspaper byline telling you the movie is rubbish -- it's the people who made the movie admitting to it themselves and just hoping you're not smart enough to listen.

It occurs when Mel Gibson (playing a self made airline tycoon) comes to believe that his kidnapped son will be killed if he simply takes the safe route and pays the ransom.
At that point, he turns the tables on the kidnapper in a stunning TV appearance, and the rest of the film is about the mind games of bluff and counterbluff that Gibson's character and the kidnapper play against each other.
