A lot of fun.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Yes, you may think of RANSOM, both 56 and 97 films, starring Glenn Ford for the first and Mel Gibson for the second. Cameron Mitchell plays here an American business in UK, a widower raising his son alone. And this very son is kidnapped. Mitchell's character is of course wealthy. And he doesn't want the police to interfere with the ransom delivery to the abductors. He doesn't want to jeopardize his son's life. He decides on the other way to take care alone of this affair. The following is predictable. Not a bad film, just entertaining enough to keep you awake. But nothing really exceptional here. A rare film, as I can see; no comment for it.
