It's not Polanski's best, but he's been off his game for 20 years, so we should be happy he delivered as decent a film as this one. Eschewing large doses of violence, Polanski manages to weave a fairly taut and interesting story of mixed up suitcases. Until the films Hollywood ending it's most enjoyable, the major problem being the presence of Roman's gal pal Seigner in the role of the beautiful smuggler who will steal your heart away....oops, must have been quoting from the Hollywood pressbook there. Anyway, Frantic is worth seeing if you like tales of intrigue, or Harrison Ford, who is really quite good.
