Ransom **
(First Viewing)

Tom Mullen, rich airline owner, is shocked when his son is kidnapped. He is willing to pay the two million dollar ransom, but the drop goes wrong. So Tom turns the ransom money into a bounty on the head of the kidnapper.

I've never seen a parent act so recklessly with the life of their child in any movie or TV show as I did this film. The story kept going around in circles and it was the same song and dance. I was really surprised to see former New Kid on the Block star Donnie Wahlberg in the picture, as this was only his second film of his career. I still dig Ron Howard though, it wasn't his fault the script was crappy. His best work before this movie was Far and Away and after that wasn't until 2001's A Beautiful Mind.
