Watched “Ransom<\/a>” on TV. I have seen it before, but since I didn’t have a blog back then, I decided to mention it now.<\/p>\n

This is one of those films that you really enjoy watching, but that you don’t want to own or can never remember later. The story is nice, but it’s a one-time flick. There is some good acting from people who usually deliver good acting – Mel Gibson<\/a>, Rene Russo<\/a>, Gary Sinise<\/a>, Delroy Lindo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Overall, I’ll give it a 7 out of 10 and recommend you to see it. But if you think you did, then you should better go for something else.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
