Following the disastrous Pirates (1986), director Roman Polanski got back on creative track with this finely-wrought thriller that, while failing to impress at the box office, was nevertheless his most critically well-received film of the decade. Harrison Ford stars as Richard Walker, an American doctor who has come to Paris, where he's scheduled to deliver a paper to a medical conference. Richard has brought along his wife Sondra (Betty Buckley), because Paris was the site of their honeymoon 20

[Polanski's] usual surrealism is almost completely absent.
A thriller without much surprise, suspense or excitement.
[Polanski] has succeeded in picking up the clever, unnerving thread of his earlier career.
Even with its excesses, Frantic is a reminder of how absorbing a good thriller can be.
Vintage Polanski.
...a solid, consistently entertaining piece of work that boasts a typically stellar performance from Harrison Ford.
Curiously and effectively weds the unlikely adventure of a thriller to the plodding realism of daily life... [Blu-ray]
[An] energetic and often light-hearted thriller.
One of the best traditional thrillers to come down the pike in quite some time.
Embora assuma os contornos de um suspense mais tradicional (e eficiente, diga-se de passagem), Busca Frenética desenvolve um subtexto rico de significados.
A nice little suspense movie for those who enjoy the slow burns.
Funny and unsettling.
Some of Ford's best work to date, an absorbing thriller spun from a marvelously simple concept.
A frantic Harrison Ford we get throughout this Polanski work.
Should be great; isn't.
I was expecting an average thriller, but ended up with a bit less here. (Never contented, am I?) Not bad to kill time, though. The actors were fine, but their characters were hardly so. So, unless you're a die-hard Polanski/Ford fan and/or are running out of options, this isn't something to anxiously look forward to.
