Where's the director's cut?
How can this be a special edition when they didn't bother to include the director's cut of the film? They released it on the Ransom laserdisc years ago with an extra 18 minutes added back into the film. With so many studios re-releasing movies left and right these days, maybe we'll see a another special edition of Ransom come out in the future...this time done right. With any luck it will include the director's cut that so many fans of the film want on DVD.

Ransom
I have seen this movie before, a few years age and liked it very much. I seen it again on a channel on TV however it was edited quite abit.

Therefore I decided to buy my own copy from Amazon.com, however, when I recieved it it would not play in either one of my DVD player (I have two). I looked at the DVD to see if there was any scratchs or dust on but could not see any (but my eye sight is not as good as it us to be). So I put it with my other DVD's that I don't watch and forgot about it. I would realy like to have a copy that played, I paid for it, but I guess sometimes you get faulty items it the mail.

If you can help me with this I would apreciate it very much. I have't beem able to view the DVD since I bought it.

Thank You, and if you need further information you may contact me at my E-Mail address or call me at 775-289-4893.

Thank You,

Someone Will Pay...
What would you do if a child of yours was taken from you and put up for ransom? That is the question that director Ron Howard ("Apollo 13") leaves the audience to ponder in his action-thriller "Ransom", starring Mel Gibson ("Braveheart" & `Lethal Weapon' franchise), Rene Russo ("Lethal Weapon 3"), and Gary Sinise ("Forrest Gump").

"Ransom" is the story of multi-millionaire airline executive Tom Mullen (Mel Gibson), whose charmed life is flipped upside down when a gang of criminals kidnap his only son. Asking for a hefty ransom while threatening to kill the child if the family doesn't pay, Mullen and his wife (Rene Russo) choose to pay the ransom. However, due to police mistakes the ransom drop is botched, leaving Tom to wonder what will happen if he continues to rely solely on the police and the F.B.I. to solve this case and return his son to him safely. That is when this desperate father does what no one thought possible, he turns the tables on the kidnappers by placing a bounty on their heads. Now with the kidnappers on the ropes and tensions high, it's a battle against time and fate for the kidnappers to make their decision and for Mullen to get his son back alive.

This critically acclaimed box office smash had the perfect blend of action, suspense, and drama all carefully crafted by Academy Award winning director Ron Howard and his producer Brian Grazer. With outstanding performances by the entire cast, especially Mel Gibson and Gary Sinise who shine brightly in every scene, there is not a single weak moment in this entire film. With plenty of twists and turns that will keep your head spinning so that you don't know whose right and wrong, "Ransom" is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

"Ransom" is a definite must-see, it would be a huge mistake on anyone's part not to watch this movie.

"Ransom" is rated R for violence and language.
