Review of Frantic (1988) by Steven1981 — 23 Mar 2020

Frantic is a Roman Polanski film made in 1988 and I'm going to be stupid and give it a 10 and the reasons for a perfect rating is the story and because the movie doesn't focus merely on violence, blood, guts, sex scenes to entertain the audience.

As with Chinatown which was directed by Roman Polanski in 1974 we see in Frantic (1988) a beautifully crafted, perfect piece of film making without stupidity, violence and nonsense like that and a beautifu and kind of intelligent thriller feel to it and a mystery type film.

..The film may have violence or action in it but I'd say about 5% if at all so hardly any really if any...... FRANTIC doesn't rely on violence and stupidity to be a great film and all the characters are great and feels very beautifuly crafted in terms of film quality and has a decent and not dumb story.

Actor "Harrison Ford" who plays Richard Walker in the film has his wife named Sondra Walker do a disappearing act on him whilst in Paris and since her disappearance wants clues and answers in a bid to find his wife.

A very intelligent movie with a great story that's fairly tense and also contains romance and maybe a very small amount of violence which is probably not even that relevant to the movie because there's hardly any if at all.

Anybody looking for a movie with non stop action and violence and blood and guts avoid Frantic because this isn't that type of movie. It's a movie made with common sense instead of stupidity and is very good especially in terms of entertainment and some suspense and doesn't rely on violence too much if any at all.

Most of it is just dialogue and a fairly decent mystery about one man wanting answers and to find a missing person and is superbly made by director Roman Polanski and is a stylish film in all departments.
