Ransom Ratings & Reviews
- madgittyNovember 30, 2025Good film
- tellumAugust 21, 2025This is Mel Gibsons best acting performance. “GIMME BACK MY SON!”
- cferacoAugust 20, 2025At first glance, Ransom and Home Alone seem worlds apart—one is a dark thriller, the other a family comedy. Yet, both center on the theme of family under threat and how ordinary people (or a child) respond to extraordinary danger.
- gosso85September 5, 2025This is one of Mel’s best performances, it gets you in the feels and it’s an awesome thriller. I think this is also Rene Russo’s best performance! Great flick!
