Pros: The ending is great...
Cons: ...if you can stay awake that long.
PROOF OF LIFE is a meta-movie...there are many different ways to watch it. On one level, PROOF OF LIFE is a proving ground for star Russell Crowe -- as the first big-budget flick of his to hit screens since GLADIATOR, it's the perfect place to see if...

Pros: Suspenseful plot performed by intriguing stars
Cons: Stereotypical Latino characters & melodramatic moments
Abduction of multinational executives has become big business according to William Prochnau in a 1998 VANITY FAIR piece, "Adventures in the Ransom Trade," the provocative article that inspired this timely tale. So, after an exciting, if...

Pros: great scenes, good acting, and Russell Crowe :D
Cons: a lil slow in the beginning
I was almost dragged into the theater to see this movie because from the previews, it looked like another all-action flick, something that I was not in the mood for! However, much to my surprise, the movie has a lot of substance to it.

Pros: Exciting and romantic
Cons: None really
My husband and I just returned from seeing this movie tonight so I thought I would write about it while it was still fresh in my mind. First of all, I can't believe that Proof of Life is recommened only 68% of the time here at Epinions. This surprised...

Pros: Fast paced story and Russell Crowe, Man! Is he great!
Cons: Meg Ryan's character not developed well, scenes of graphic violence
Normally I don't go for shoot them up movies, especially since I almost gave up movies forever after "Charlie's Angels" But I decided to give movies another try. Hey, it's not all bad, I told myself. It doesn't always has to be art. It can be...

Pros: Morse and Caruso; pacing; terrific (and pretty accurate) final shootout
Cons: Plot contrivances; some choppy editing; Crowe seems bored
Despite some weaknesses, I have to recommend the 2000 thriller “Proof Of Life”, partly due to its strengths, and partly due to the permanent soft spot in my heart for its director, Taylor Hackford, who in 1982's "An Officer And A Gentleman" gave us one...

Pros: Caught up in the Story immediately
Cons: None
I know I seem to find romance in the most interesting movies. Although this movie is an action movie with plenty of thrills it also had a message about true love and the importance of appreciating what you have.
I read up on this movie before...

Pros: May shame Meg Ryan into retirement
Cons: David Caruso clearly has no such shame
I know we're all waiting to crack jokes about the affair between Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan, but I have an important bulletin that will probably come as a shock: MEG RYAN WAS NOT IN THIS FILM!!
No no no no!!
Ironically...

Pros: Acting is great, Ryan and Crowe especially...
Cons: Unsubstantial love story if you were looking to see that...
When offered a chance to see a pre - screening of a movie, why say no. There will be no chatty audience, no one standing up to go to the bathroom, no babies, no cell phones...that is the main reason I saw Proof of Life, because I could.

by JAMES23 - Top 200, Jan 30 '01
Pros: TIGHT TENSE ACTION/DRAMA BEAUTIFULLY FILMED
Cons: A COUPLE OF LITTLE INCONSISTENCIES
A couple of years ago I was enjoying a relaxing couple of days at a beach resort in Santa Lucia Cuba. Another guest asked me a big favour. Would I take a look at a young English tourist who'd arrived the previous night, was feeling ill and whose mother...

by jeff_wilder78 - Top 500, Jul 14 '01
Pros: Good performance by Russell Crowe, exciting climax.
Cons: Too long, Weak performance by Meg Ryan.
Sometimes there are certain movies that come along at the wrong time. Proof Of Life is a definite example of this.
Proof Of Life was released in the 2000 Holiday crunch and was expected to be a massive hit. All the elements were there: Russell...

Pros: Russell Crowe, a good climax.
Cons: Mechanical plot, forced sexual tension.
Russell Crowe is a true cinematic icon. An Australian mix of Marlon Brando and John Wayne, Crowe is the quintessential male screen persona – every woman wants him, every man wants to be him. If People magazine doesn’t name Russell Crowe their next...

by pach1908 , Dec 09 '00
Pros: Proof Of Life 1 Starring David Morse Is Good
Cons: Proof Of Life 2 Starring Meg Ryan Is Bad
"Proof of Life" is really two movies -- a really good one and a really bad one. The really good one stars David Morse as a man contracted to build a dam to bring water to a remote South American jungle area. Mercenary soldiers/cocaine...
