Proof of Life (2000)


A woman hires a professional negotiator to obtain the release of her engineer husband, who has been kidnapped by anti-government guerrillas in South America.

Fairly routine thriller that works as actioner, but hardly offers anything beyond that.

Halliwell (no star): "A movie that fails to make an audience care for the people involved, for all its attempts to update Casablanca with its repressed romance and world-weary airs."

Maltin**1/2: "Entertaining if all-too-familiar soap-opera/thriller..."
