Honestly, I'd expect more action with a movie named Frantic. In the end, it looked like Americans with bad French were trying to communicate with Frenchmen with bad English.

This was okay. Weird I didn't know about this, being a Harrison Ford and Romance Polanski movie. Something about his movies never quite do it for me. Other than Chinatown I think. Anyway I have a few questions about this movie. And I'm not a fan of how this movie treats the female character. Also, the macguffin is kind of hilarious, a nuclear bomb detonator called a krypton (yup) that looks like part of a firecracker.

The first half (and especially the idea of the disappearance of the doctor's wife without a trace) is brilliant. But instead of going on like that, Polanski made a "detective story about a nuclear device" out of Frantic and that's just a shame because the second half of the flick are mediocre at best...

Movie starts off well enough with the mystery element but afterward tonally felt a bit off (veered into moderate comedy at points). Ford is fine as was Emmanuelle Seigner, though I wonder if this could've used the eye of Brian De Palma rather than Polanski. **3.25/5**

"Frantic" is an engrossing and well made film that easily builds up a genuine sense of mystery and intrigue from the very beginning. It is incredibly well crafted throughout with an immediately interesting opening gambit and Roman Polanski is a seasoned director and he knows precisely how to create More
