For this film to qualify as excellent, not much is needed. Maybe a little more...I don't know...temper? Anyway, Ford is brilliant as Richard Walker whose wife is kidnapped in Paris. It's his acting that makes up for a somewhat simple plot. Just look at the scene where he talks to some policeman over the phone. "With an S for 's***head'!"
That's priceless.
