Review of Frantic (1988) by Jak T — 22 Jul 2007
After watching Ninth Gate for the nth time, I wondered what else Emmanuelle Seigner had been in. It turned out to be Polanski's Frantic, which has been sitting next to my TV for months. Yes, I've seen it before, but it had been more than 10 years.
Anyway, better than I remembered. I found Harrison Ford more sympathetic this time around, and the espionage plot made me think of Hitchcock. A swapped suitcase drags an ordinary man into a totally different lifestyle of drugs, lowlifes, crime, and spies.
Moody and sexy.
