Proof that the Thriller is still alive and well...

by captaind captaind is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jun 09 '05
Pros: Tense, gripping, good performances by Crowe and Ryan...
Cons: ... too much bad language, some parts ill-developed or contrived
Well well, what have we here? Write Off fanatic Dean is hosting one himself, and challenging us to write a product review in which we use a different format to our normal one. So here goes with my effort at a ...

Proof – Neither Fish Nor Fowl

by gungian Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 08 '01
Pros: Some worthwhile action scenes amidst panoramic vistas. Meg and Russell are easy on the eyes.
Cons: Passion didn't boil – nor even simmer. After 135 minutes their romance was still tepid.
I had fully intended to see Proof of Life when it was released late last year. One thing led to another, however, and it was gone before I made the opportunity. So I was thrilled when I found that the video would be shown during our recent...

Play It Again, Meg

by mike.holmes mike.holmes is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 29 '00
Pros: Strong dialogue, acting and action
Cons: Perhaps a little too long
I wanted to see Proof of Life because I like the leading actors and the trailers promised an action-filled plot. I couldn't have cared a hoot and a holler that the movie inspired a real life romance but it was obvious that Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe...

There's enough beef, but where's the action?

by bops_mom Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Dec 28 '00
Pros: Russell Crowe, beautiful scenery, good story
Cons: not an action flick - much more of a drama
Oh wow, only 75 reviews of Proof Of Life so far at Epinions? I guess this movie isn't very popular, huh? I remember back when Mission Impossible 2 came out and I saw it opening night, went to write my review the next day and there were already...

Proof Of A True Movie Star

by The_Wood Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 09 '00
Pros: Acting, Action.
Cons: Ryan in some parts
I went into Proof Of Life not really knowing what to expect. Sure I've seen the trailer for it in every movie I've seen for the last two months. It's been getting very mixed reviews by major critics and the online buzz has been less then...

Give Me Some Scissors and White-Out

by NoniaBidnis , Dec 10 '00
Pros: photography, great opening section, David Caruso rocked
Cons: terrible dialog, slow pacing, Meg and Pamela
This movie is like a getting your favorite sandwich, being really hungry and ready for the taste of this treat, and taking a big bite to find out someone had spread your least favorite condiment on thick. There’s good stuff in there, but it’s rendered...

Proof That Formulas Can Fail.

by DrJ008 , Jul 12 '01
Pros: Russell Crowe's performance, decent direction, with an interesting premise.
Cons: Meg Ryan's performance, poorly edited, pretentious script.
With the end of the cold war and economic instability spanning the globe, the international community has turned a tad sour. No longer can anti-government rebels in third-world countries depend on democratic/communist backing. The plug's been pulled and...

No Proof of Life Until The Last 30 Minutes!

by Montepenny Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 18 '00
Pros: Strong Finish
Cons: Incredibly Weak First Hour
It is always a shame when the publicity for the release of a film is overshadowed by the scandalous activities of its stars because it never really gets a fair chance to make it on its own merits. The press generates so many headlines that you find...

Proof of Life: A New Meg Ryan?

by beckish Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Feb 04 '02
Pros: Suspenseful
Cons: Predictable in places
Meg Ryan is one of my favorite actresses. She has an appeal about her; a freshness, a joy of life. Well, if you happen to feel the same way, don't expect to see the Meg Ryan we have all known and loved in the movie Proof of Life.

Not...

PROOF OF A GREAT MOVIE!

by skygirl Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 07 '01
Pros: factual, exciting
Cons: could do without the sister in law
I have been dying to see Proof of Life. Yes, I admit the media has added extra encouragement with all the talk of the hot romance between Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe. I happen to love both of the actors here anyway. I have been a fan of Meg Ryan for a...

Guaranteed to be Dennis Quaid's Least Favorite Film.

by Trotterman Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 08 '00
Pros: Good performances by Crowe and Ryan, who do have chemistry together. David Morse is the biggest highlight of this film.
Cons: I forgot to mention that David Caruso is a horrible actor. His scenes make my head hurt.
In what can most accurately be described as Dennis Quaid's working definition of hell, cute-as-a-button Meg Ryan ("You've Got Mail" "Joe Versus the Volcano") and Russell Crowe ("Gladiator" "The Insider") have...

Proof of Life: The K&R game, and a bit of romance

by mgreber Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 18 '01
Pros: Crowe, directorial restraint and cinematography are all top-notch
Cons: Story has holes and undeveloped scenes, Pamela Reed is awful.
Proof of Life is what I would call an interesting blender experiment. On one hand, we start with Missing In Action (an awful Chuck Norris film, if that's not redundant) and Let's Get Harry (a solid Mark Harmon vehicle). Then, we...

Proof of Russel's Box Office Power

by protoguy , Dec 15 '00
Pros: Russell Crowe
Cons: Meg and the Montages (isn't that a Motown group?)
While it may be argued that Meg Ryan is one reason why people would choose to see this movie, I personally have never been drawn to a movie because she was in it. I usually enjoy the movie, but not because of Meg. Like the star of Profiler, Ally Walker,...

PETER and the PIG MAN..What Kind of Proof Do you Need?

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 14 '00
Pros: Crowe and Morse
Cons: Ryan's wardrobe and the politics of Tecala
I would like to maintain the sophisticated film-reviewer's stance on this movie, but I find myself, in the long run, just another fan! I liked this movie, and of all the ones I have seen in the theaters lately, this one beats them hands down. There are a...
