Tense - Proof of Life review by JD
Russell Crowe as superhero who would believe it ? Plenty of mud, huge jumps into water and explosions, plenty too of plot. I am weary of superhero romance films. I expect a new angle or character interplay. This is a standard: lots of gunfire, saving people from peril, running through jungle, film. I cannot remember any distinctive or memorable moments. However, the direction was good enough to keep some tension and Crowe is a good superhero.
