A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

... View MoreI was so happy when season 2 of Ransom was announced. The cast is amazing and although the theme of each episode is the same (someone is kidnaped and CrisisResolution led by Eric Beaumont is called in to negotiate) each episode feels unique. It's not the typical drama we see in North America. The writing is clever with the episode story and the series story. I look forward to watching and learning more about each character and seeing how each one relies on the others.
... View MoreI am thoroughly enjoying "Ransom". It captures and keeps my attention throughout each episode. The story lines are varied and fresh and depend on intellect rather than brawn and muscle. The interactions between the characters could be more developed but they do form a cohesive team. The acting is on par with other top rated TV shows. I definitely recommend this series.
... View MoreMediocre show with mediocre acting, but that isn't a surprise because ransom can only be about one thing, of course.Ransom, like Bull(sh**), is yet another attempt to milk the CSI-ish and Criminal-Mind-ish Cow. One would think that producers and writers would acknowledge that this genre is so incredibly 'milked' that one would need to come with something remarkable in order to impress audiences.I wouldn't really recommend watching this to anybody, unless you have absolutely nothing else to do. It wont impress, it is not captivating rather you will find yourself distracted easily, and if you'd miss 15 minutes of an episode you wont really feel the need to wind back, you'll simply continue as the stories are flat and predictable, characters are shallow and entertainment value lacking.
... View MoreI am enjoying this show. It is good TV and finally something to watch on a Saturday night. Interesting plot, interesting and complex characters, and great intrigue. Hopefully it won't be a one season and done. It is tough to become interested in a good program to then see it end after one or two seasons. Perhaps viewers will give it better marks once the overall plot and the characters develop throughout the season. I am looking forward to see how Beaumont handles the gal who joined the team for a personal motive. I love the CBS line up and this show is a great addition.. I would like to see a little more character development without distracting from the great ransom/abduction story lines. Episode 4 was a step in that direction and the best episode yet. Can't wait to see more.
