Review – Proof of Life

If you’re in the mood for some seriously formulaic action movie mix, then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got plenty of shooting and explosions for the guys, and for their dates we have Russell Crowe as a security consultant / hostage negotiator / mercenary who makes it his mission in life to help helpless Meg Ryan recover her husband from Latin American guerrillas. Though the plot includes a couple of holes big enough to drive a tank through, for the most part this is an amusing romp through the world of testosterone-driven political intrigue with a hearty dose of the whole someone-to-watch-over-me thing thrown in for good measure. If you like this sort of thing, this is an excellent example of it. Mildly amusing
