Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Jonathan Rosenbaum[Polanski's] usual surrealism is almost completely absent.
Kalamazoo Gazette - 8/10 by James Sanford"a tepid brew that never comes to a full boil"
Groucho Reviews - 8/10 by Peter CanaveseCuriously and effectively weds the unlikely adventure of a thriller to the plodding realism of daily life... [Blu-ray]
United Press International - 8/10 by Cathy BurkeIt's a film about ordinary people put in unordinary circumstances pressed to extraordinary levels, and the film itself becomes extraordinary by the effort.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Hal HinsonPolanski's thriller boasts several superb set pieces, even if it doesn't quite snap shut on the mind the way Chinatown did. Funny and unsettling.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Gene SiskelFord`s character is disoriented from the very beginning of the movie, suffering from jet lag, and you can view the movie as one long tourist`s nightmare. Although the suspense never reaches the level of Polanski`s finest work-there are plot holes that are enormous-the film is well made technically and has so many twists and turns that one can`t help but want stick around to see how it turns out. In other words, you have just read a guarded recommendation.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertEven with its excesses, Frantic is a reminder of how absorbing a good thriller can be.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Michael WilmingtonIn Roman Polanski's Frantic--an elegant, icy thriller about an American doctor chasing his wife's kidnapers through the deadlier byways of Paris--we can tell after 10 minutes that we're in the hands of a superb craftsman.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Janet MaslinFrantic generates its suspense precisely because it appears so reasonable, because it takes such a calm, methodical approach to the maddening events that lure Dr. Walker into the maelstrom.
Flipside Movie Emporium - 7/10 by Rob VauxSome of Ford's best work to date, an absorbing thriller spun from a marvelously simple concept.
