I like Harrison Ford, and this movie directed by Roman Polanski is a good outing for him. It's an 80s movie filmed in Europe with a great French/American mixed cast. Ford seems a bit subdued in his role and this helps supporting characters stand out - most especially Emanuelle Seigner who gives the best performance in the movie. She plays a savvy French street girl in the Paris Underworld drug scene. We've seen Ford in better movies of this type before and after but never-mind. "Frantic"'s Paris setting, although dated, is stunning completely supporting a foreign environment especially important in the first 3rd of the movie which may be the strongest part of the movie which is evident in the thought and preparation into clues circumstance. The movie is more of a suspense and mystery rather than action, and it does a solid job of this. A few of the scenes/dialog are not too well thought out or believable but they're not enough to detract. Music is period specific 80s but interesting. Recommended 80s and Ford flick.
