It’s as true as it is cliched, but they really don’t make ’em like they used to anymore, with 1996’s action thriller Ransom the sort of big budget, star-powered, adult-orientated blockbuster that’s almost been wiped from existence due to the growing divide between franchise fare, inexpensive genre titles, and shoestring indies.

Which is a real shame, because the fast-paced and propulsive race against time more than holds its own when revisited over a quarter of a century later, which only makes it more of a missed opportunity that Hollywood isn’t willing to spend such sums of cash on a proven formula for success.
