I was impressed by Proof of Life and would only make one comment. In most movies, the plot is tightened up to be fast-paced, convincing, make you identify with and care about the characters, and even contain a little moral or have something to say about the human condition.When a film like Proof of Life is based on a true story, there are limits to this. The worst example I can think of being A Civil Action, which I'm sure is true to the story but the ending was not satisfying and deflated the entire film.So it's definitely worth seeing, but it's a little slow, and like real life the there is no consistent "tone" to the plot twists. (The film does not fit neatly into one genre throughout.)Who should see this film:-- Action buffs who won't mind that only some stuff blows up and the film is a little arty-- Drama fans who are curious about the topic, but who are not expecting a romance and won't mind a little violence-- People who'd like some gritty realism concerning Latin American civil uprisingsI give "Proof of Life" a 7 out of 10.
