QUICK FACTS
This movie was made in 2000.
Taylor Hackford had directed 12 movies before this one, including An Officer and a Gentleman and The Devil's Advocate.
Proof of Life was nominated for five awards, but did not win a thing.
Harrison Ford was offered Crowe's role, but said no.
Girl's first review in a while...
This movie has many elements that appeal to me. Jungle warfare, flinch-worthy kills (cutting out the throat) and great suspense. I mean, I wasn't on the edge of my seat the entire movie, but David Morse plays the hostile, helpless hostage quite well. Maybe it's my infatuation with Crowe (in his earlier days, mind), but there is something about him with a gun, his native accent, and wearing a suit for a large portion of the movie that turns me on to this action flick. It might also be the reason why I thought the sexual tension between Ryan and Crowe was hot, and kept drawing me back to this movie time and time again, hoping she would be less of a prude. But... It's Meg. She's a bit of a prude.
Girl's Rating: Great lazy-night action movie that can be watched year after year.
