Frantic

FRANTIC (1988) - July 21, 2011
A really slow-paced "thriller" about a doctor whose wife disappears in Paris, and who tries to figure out who took her and to get her back.  Harrison Ford was quite good in the main role, and Roman Polanski's stylish visuals were nice to look at, but the film was exceptionally slow-moving, and really took much longer than it needed to at every turn.  Polanski was obviously going for a Hitchcockian vibe (without much success), and there were definitely some good moments here, but all in all this was kind of a failure.  **
