I was interested all through the movie--interested, but not riveted.
Top CriticFor all its nail-biting fusillades, it fails to score a shot to the heart.
Proof of Life refers to a negotiator's demand for proof a hostage is still alive...you may start wondering the same thing about the movie.
Good story, but too violent for kids.
The unconvincing Proof of Life is a missed opportunity.
Whatever sparks ignited off the set fail to register on film, in essence ruining Taylor Hackford's drama.
About as thrilling as the Kansas plains.
Crackles, sputters, and starts up finally in the last half of the movie.
Tragically for both Hackford and the punters, the best drama came when the cameras weren't rolling.
Kidnapping romance showcases Crowe's gifts -- and Ryan's limitations.
