![PADDINGTON IN PERU - Official Trailer [4K] - Paddington Bear is back!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lKgitu25ZAg/mqdefault.jpg)
Gary Sinise is one of the few actors who is great in every role. Main roles, side characters, doesnt matter. He leaves his mark on every movie.
Exactly. I feel like that with Sam Rockwell also.
And yet unfortunately, even with his talent, he doesn't get movie roles anymore.
Lt. Dan.
The kidnapper is Donny Wahlberg, and you know him too. He played Sgt. Carwood Lipton. He's the sergeant who takes care of the 181st when Foxhole Norman Dike gets them trapped and killed. Lt. Speir takes over and tells Lipton that he's the man who's kept everyone safe and a!ive. He's been their leader. It was one of your favorite episodes.
Gary Sinise was in " A Midnight Clear ".
I love the line "Do you know anyone who wouldn't turn you in for 2 million dollars? I don't think you do." Such a great script!
Yeah, that part is from an old Glen Ford movie called ..... "Ransom!" (1956)
That speech to the TV stations was actually the only similar part to the old movie. This is a completely different movie except that "I won't pay" broadcast.
originally a 1954 tv drama, then the 56 film both written by Cyril Hume and Richard Maibaum 5:23 ( Maibaum was the most prolific Bond screenwriter, working on 13 films between 1962 and 89 )
@@ennesshay5040 @FloridaMugwump Thanks for the info!
the GIMME BACK MY SON gives me chills every time
The way you two reacted when you thought the boy was shot just shows how empathetic and caring you are, even knowing it was a movie. It was very touching. Ypu two are good souls.
The way you both get emotionally attached to the characters is why your reactions are the best, its not even close
The lady has a son I think
Reading this comment made me laugh so hard for some reason@@DannyCosmos I think it is because I read it in the voice of a medieval knight "the lady doth protest too much!" 🤣
right - i get more emotional watching it with them in this than i do watching it
It's really an exceptionally well directed and acted movie that's kind of been forgotten.
Yes, that is Donnie Wahlberg (from New Kids on the Block fame and is on the tv show Blue Bloods on CBS) and is Mark's older brother.
" E. Carwood Lipton "
The part I love the most is where Tom says to Jimmy: "I would have paid ten times as much if I had any sense that they would actually stick to the deal."
Jimmy's reaction is great because he basically has to concede that Tom was one hundred percent correct and he accurately assessed the situation. Jimmy was going to kill the kid and by taking the course he did, Tom saved his life. For all his talk of privilege, Jimmy got genuinely outplayed.
YES!!! He's basically calling Jimmy a dumbazz right to his face, and Jimmy has no choice but to smile and realize Tom's right. 🤣
Gary Sinise is RIDICULOUSLY UNDERRATED!
He's been cast in some of the biggest movies of all time. How is he "underrated?" I swear there's a comment about a super-famous and successful actor being "underrated" under every movie reaction.
@@theveryworstluck1894 I think he's underrated in the regard that he's never been a headliner or a star in Hollywood.
@@theveryworstluck1894 If there was a Top 100 of greatest actors, i can almost guarantee he wouldn't feature... my comment wasn't to disregard his many successes, just stating that this great actor doesn't seem to get the full recognition he deserves.
@@Deenahlew232 fair enough
Yes he is. But this disturbs me a little, i'm not used to see him as a "bad guy"... I freaking love "Mac Taylor", but he played an awesome bad guy in this
I have *never* seen Cassie lose it like that
She does on the few horror movies she's seen on here; Scream, Nightmare on Elm Street. And Cinderella Man. And Fools Rush In for some reason.
Parts of 3:10 to Yuma, The Departed, and Gangs of New York got her pretty riled up as well, if I recall.
Watch her reaction to "Prisoners". The closest we've ever gotten to Cassie dropping an F-Bomb.
She didn't "lose it". I admire her for having the courage to unabashedly share her emotions with the world. That takes some big balls and I love her even more because of it!
@@tehdesp Glory got her pretty emotional as well.
I gotta say, out of all the reactions to all the movies I’ve seen people react to, this reaction was phenomenal.
5:30 that's Gary Sinise... He's most famous for playing "Lieutenant Dan" in the movie Forrest Gump. He also played an astronaut in the true story of Apollo 13.
Yup... but he will always be Mac Taylor to me... Best CSI ever!!
“Push your thumb in the bullet wound hole” absolute all time classic Cassie line where did that even come from😂
From watching the movie
Knowing you're a mother, I know this must've been a hard watch for you guys. My mom saw this in theaters and said to me, "The inhumane things I would do to a person if I knew they could harm you and I couldn't protect you. That's between me and God, and I'll stand behind it before him."
The depths of Hell a parent will go through for their child is unimaginable.
What a good mom. 🥲
"Give me back my son!"
Classic Gibson.
That whole scene is classic. Find me a more iconic 90s scene.
7 days later: 29:00 - The most emotional, gripping reaction ever by a movie reactor on the Internet. Cassie and Carly, this is the best you ever did... PERIOD. The best. No other movie you did will outdo this.. none. This part of the movie was a perfect catalyst to evoking you to react the way you did. Best reaction ever.
Give me back my son!!!
it's funny how everyone on earth knew exactly what he was thinking when he swung open those patio doors. brilliant.
I remember watching this movie so long ago, before I was a dad. I thought it was pretty intense back then, I can't imagine what it would be like once you are a parent. I felt so bad for you guys, there were points when you looked emotionally gutted. Good reaction !
I am a Daughter Dad of two young women. That scenario played in my head. I taught them situational awareness and to look for an exit. Luckily, cars now are equipped with the trunk latches in the trunk. I taught them how to shoot and to use basic escape techniques, wrist locks, and joint manipulation. Also, to look for anything that can be used as a weapon. The trick is to move forward and not to trap yourself in a corner. Pray to God to help you get out of that situation. I was in the Marine Corps from 03 to 07. I was in the infantry and saw combat. I am more fearful for them than myself. This movie shows how man's hearts are corrupt. Greed isn't just a rich person's vice. It happens to everybody. Someone will always want what someone has, or someone will be corrupt to pay someone off to offset the consequences. This movie shows greed on both sides, but you feel for someone that loses their child because children are more precious than money. I am no rich man, but my girls, to me, are more precious than gold on earth. They're truly a gift from God. They also realize that they should bring potential males to me because the ones that were scared of me will suddenly leave and not come back. I never threatened them either. I said well you learned something, daughter. You learned that a guy will try to charm himself to get to you, but when he sees a threat to his existence, he will leave. Guys like that only want to use you. A guy that wants you will stick around and face me. I may not like him, but he has balls to face me anyways. He deserves that little shred of respect. I would rather respect him more than like him. I have been in a boy's shoes, and I always had to face a dad or family member.
I understood Cassie’s reaction, I loved Ransom when I was younger and it came out, but now I have 7 year old twin boys and it hits different…
You should watch Rene Russo with Pierce Brosnan in The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)
Yes! The Thomas Crown Affair and Tin Cup are my favorite Rene Russo movies! But as Cassie said, she was in several of the Lethal Weapon movies and was fantastic in those too!
Haven't watched this movie in years; forgot how much of a gut wrenching powerhouse of a film it is. Acting used to be, well, acting. Thank you both for the reaction.
Yea, this movie all day. You don't see anything like this anymore. The kid who played Sean Mullen is Nick Nolte's son. Not sure if you know him but he was one of the most famous actors in Hollywood throughout the 80's and 90's. Lots of great movies. For future reactions, I recommend 48 Hours, Cape Fear and The Prince of Tides. He was outstanding in those.
Well said. ‘Prisoners’ and ‘Sound of Freedom’ are the closest things to ‘Ransom’ that have come out in recent memory.
I don't know if they'd handle that version of Cape Fear
I can't believe y'all are watching all these movies for the 1st time, these are THE classics. You should've seen them years ago!
Only saw this once on VHS rental, but was enjoyable enough. Looking back this is a really stacked cast. Sinese plays malevolent so well.
People act like he was so loveable in Forest Gump. Ultimately he was at the end. But he walked the line in that one as well.
@ct6852 He played a loveable and likable character regardless of how he emotionally felt after losing his legs.
@@ChadSimpson-ft7yz By the end, yes. But his death wish at the beginning showed he didn't feel like he had much to offer the world or the people in it other than killing and being killed. He had some work left to do.
@@ct6852 He saw it as a family tradition mixed with his serious wounds. Wouldn't exactly call it a death wish as the thought of life without 2 legs is obviously no small matter.
Not to sound like a broken record, your reactions to this were awesome. You two are the best by far. Then the acting by everyone in this was 1st rate, the boy was so amazing it was real coming from him. I wonder how he did making these intense traumatizing scenes and after. This wiped me out, no church here today we are having a snow storm so I was watching your reactions and relaxing until this one, lol..
The son is actor nick noltes son
Whithout a doubt, this is the best reaction from you both so far‼️ The way you two immersed in the plot was a amazing. Thank you‼️👏👏👏
This movie is like Jaws. It tugs at your worst fears and is relatable on every level weather your a parent or not.
29:39 This is great female mother rage. Rene Russo is so good in the 90's
Also great actors in this movie are: Gary Sinise and Donnie Wahlberg. Gary you know and loved in Apollo 13, and in real life devotes so much of himself to philanthropy for veterans in need. Donnie Wahlberg played the beloved Carwood Lipton in Band of Brothers.
And for the past 13 years, one of the leads of Blue Bloods.
The scene where he cries in the balcony after he belives his son just died because of him is heartbreaking, always makes me emotional, and when the wife realises in how much pain he is and that all he did was really to try to save their son and goes comfort him, oh man, so good!!!!!!
Carly, I agree 1000% with what you said before the movie. Real life has enough disappointing endings. When I watch movies (aka make believe/fantasy) I’m gonna need some happy endings!
Great reaction again, guys! Sorry these take so much out of you, but it is endearing to us because you're such good people. Never change!
On the familiar faces front, you saw the bad cop, Gary Sinise, about a year ago in Apollo 13, playing Ken Mattingly, who did not get the measles. You saw the sorta good kidnapper, Donnie Wahlberg, the year before as the emaciated Vincent, in the opening moments of The Sixth Sense, in his underwear with a gun.
Donnia Wahlberg was also Carwood Lipton in Band of Brothers.
Gary Sinise was also Lieutenant Dan in "Forest Gump", a role that changed his life, and Stu Redman in the original "The Stand" among others like "Truman" and "The Green Mile". Fantastic actor and human being. I didn't recognize Donnie in "The Sixth Sense", thanks.
Cassie, you and Carly have a beautiful heart & soul. Thank you for sharing them.❤
Cassie blowing on her hands to dry the sweat off was the highlight of my week. LOL As soon as I saw the title of this one I was like, "Oh crap!" because I knew this would be super intense for you guys. Also, I miss Gary Sinise big time in movies.
Did he die??
@@ct6852Like I said IN MOVIES, I miss him being in more roles, not life. lol
@@anthonypritchett7848 Oh. lol. Thought you meant he passed.
To see Mel Gibson as the bad guy you root for, you should watch Payback. The tagline was literally "Get ready to root for the bad guy"
I was just thinking about that. Great film! And no kids in distress.
Payback was such a fun ride.
Still prefer the original cut over the one they have now.
Yeah but which cut? This is the most drastic directors cut I have ever seen with a completely different villain and completely different third act
@@Orangeflava I have only seen the theatrical cut. The director's cut is rated slightly higher on imdb, but I can only vouch for and recommend the theatrical cut.
If you want to see the absolute brilliance of Mel Gibson's skill as a director, you should react to his movie Apocalypto - best viewed in the original language with English subtitles. It is a movie like no other, and will leave you awestruck.
100%. It's a shame not many people react to that masterpiece.
A terrible movie hated by historians makes no sense whatsoever if you know even an ounce of the history the film "attempts" to portray. It may be well shot I suppose with good effects and camera work but that's it
@@afriendlycadian9857 - Eh, a lot of movies that take place in a distant enough time undo history, even when they are portraying it (ie Braveheart). In the end, a good story is a good story. If you don't like the historical accuracy, chalk it up to an alternate universe/timeline and enjoy the story as it's told, especially if the history is a setpiece like Apocalypto and not the basis like Braveheart.
@@malindemunich2883 it's hard when you know history and just see blatant stuff
Yes Donny Walberg is Mark's brother. He is also plays tom Selleck s son Danny Reagan in the TV show Blue Bloods. Also he was a NewKids on the Block
Donnie Wahlberg was in "Band of Brothers" as First Sergeant Lipton
Gary Sinise was in "Forest Gump" as Lieutenant Dan
- edit -> and in "Apollo 13" as the astronaut who does not get the measles.
Liev Schreiber was in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" as Victor Creed
Hello, Liev Schreiber was terrific in " Defiance " and " Salt ".
Liev Schreiber has better known roles than that lol. Like Cotton Weary in the original Scream trilogy.
@@moriellymoproblems7842Salt is a big role of his just like what roles you listed.
@@moriellymoproblems7842 jhila was trying to reference movies that Cassie has reacted to and thus would recognize him from.
Donnie Whalberg is a solid actor. He totally disappeared into his character in the Sixth Sense opening. Barely even recognised him 🙂🇬🇧
I honestly forgot how many great actors were in this. Donnie Wahlberg is amazing in Band of Brothers. I've never seen Liev Schrieber do a bad job in anything he's in. Gary Sinise and Mel Gibson go without saying.
This is such a stressful movie to watch. I haven't seen it in years.
Mel Gibson is one of the greatest actors of all time.
You two are so adorable. I love it when you get so emotional. Invested in the movie and characters. Thank you for watching this and providing us with an excellent reaction.
YES - the nice kidnapper is Mark Wahlburg's brother, Donnie. Donnie was in the first 15 minutes of the Sixth Sense AND he was a New Kid on the Block in the 80s (my age's boy band). I think the best acting of Mel's was in Signs - well, ONE of his best performances haha I used to think he was just an action star or funny (he did both, as I was growing up) but, now that I'm an adult, I'm discovering just how amazing Mel is! OH - and have you seen Daddy's Home 2? It's set at Christmas time, so you could add that to your list for next December. But, Mel plays Mark Wahlburg's dad and Will Ferrell is the other lead. I don't think you NEED to see the 1st movie to get this one - and I don't think it's particularly good, either.
You 2 have one more Mel Gibson War to watch "Gallipoli"(1981). The worse battle in Aussie History.
I don't know if I'm saddened, or proud of Carly here. This is the FIRST time (at least that I've noticed), whereas she DIDN'T hide her eyes during the violence at the climax of the film. She was INTO it!!!
She's becoming a seasoned pro at this now...😀😀😀
😂I noticed the same thing.
Trueche’
Simply dodges the firings! 😅
Yep, it's called desensitizing. Repeated exposure to violence will do that to you.
One of us!
Donnie Wahlburg is in Band Of Brothers. He plays Carwood Lipton.
Mel Gibson is an incredible actor and a fantastic Director.
Another AMAZING thriller he's in, Conspiracy Theory, with Julia Roberts.
That would be a GREAT movie for the ladies to cover!
This movie was a rollercoaster. I remember seeing this in cinema and the shock in the scene when Sinise fires the gun. Heart-stopping.
Hi ladies. That was Donnie Wahlberg, Mark's older brother. He was one of the original members of New Kids on the Block. He also is one of the stars of the TV show Blue Bloods with Tom Selleck. The bad guy was Gary Sinise who played Lt Dan in Forrest Gump. Renee Russo was in Line of Fire with Clint Eastwood, Thor????, she was aalso in Tin Cup with Kevin Costner (you two might like that one. Don't know if you are familiar with actor Nick Nolte but the kid who played Mel's son is Nick's son. Another Mel Gibson movie I think worth watching (Mel's acting in it is really good) it is called Conspiracy Theory and co-stars Julia Roberts.
Donny Wahlberg is the guy in the plaid shirt was also one of the New Kids On the Block. Oh, and he was the guy who shot Bruce Willis in the”The Sixth Sense.”
The kid is Nick Nolte's son, Brawley Nolte. This was his first film.
Ransom is a great one for you two ladies to watch. It’s interesting in that it feels like it doesn’t get widely talked about like some other films, yet you talk with those who have seen it, they’ll talk about it at length and sing its praises, and rightfully so as this film is most excellent.
eh, it's good for a watch or two, but, beyond that, it doesn't have much going for it
Many late 90s Mel Gibson movies went under the radar. Like his star power wasn't that great at that point. Ransom, Payback, Conspiracy Theory. All didn't get that recognition they deserved.
@@Kasino80they're just decent movies, Payback the best of the bunch, but even that is only 'pretty good' (either version) - though it's better than the original
Road Warrior, Beyond Thunderdome
This was a really good movie. Please consider watching Frequency (2000).
That's a good one...
@@erauprcwa I love that one too! Please do it, Cassie & Carly! It's really worth seeing!
yes they should definitely watch this one
Yes!!! One of my favorites. I was just about to post the same thing.
4:15 Yes. Looking back, they really had great chemistry as a couple. I mean I saw these films as a boy. Didn't register that back then ;)
I think this is Ron Howard's best movie. It is so intense and emotional and really shows the love that a parent has for their child because Tom was willing to risk everything he had to get his son back including going to jail or dying to save him. Mel Gibson's performance in this movie is excellent.
"I recognize everyone but can't place them..."
Jackie Brown is played by Dan Hedaya, whom you likely know as the father in Clueless 😉
Check him out as Nixon in Dick, with Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams.
At the time this movie was filming, a family member was the Personal Assistant to Rene Russo. During that summer, my son got to spend his vacay @ Rene's house. When he left to go back to College she gave him a Photo that was a prop during the movie. He placed it on his study desk in his dorm room and anyone that saw it was stopped in their tracks. It was a 8x10 framed photo of Rene signed "To Sean, Love Mom" in the movie, Rene's son was named Sean Mullen, my stepson's name...Sean Mullen.!
That story would be cooler if your stepson had been kidnapped for a ransom
@@sparksdrinker5650 By Gary Sinise...
Donnie Walberg became known by being in New Kids on the Block. Now he's in the TV show Blue Bloods.
Yes, he's Markie Mark's (Mark Walberg) brother.
One of Mel Gibson's greatest scenes is when he hears the gunshot, and knows Sean must be dead. Ransom is a lesson to never allow the villain to control his crime location. Delroy, Renee, Gary. Those 90s movies had acting talent. Great reactions ladies! I had fun.😃
Seeing James Horner listed as the music composer breaks my heart.
RIP my man, you are sorely missed.
Legend. RIP.
Sounds like Horner took a lot of inspiration from James Newton Howard's score from The Fugitive.
Yup, though John Williams’s and Alan Silvestri’s 70s and 80s scores kinda ruled the scene for a time, the 90s were very much James Horner (though Willow, Field of Dreams, and Glory were late 80s) with The Rocketeer, Apollo 13, Braveheart, Legends of the Fall, and Titanic. Soundtracks you could whistle. Sadly, film scores don’t seem to be as memorable anymore. Passable, many, but nothing you can whistle that people will recognize, like Star Wars or Back to the Future or Superman.
@@brodyschum Did he do Lord of the Rings?
@@ct6852 James Newton Howard did LOTR.
Sinise is also great in Of Mice and Men which he also directs.❤
My guy delroy lindo is always on point. From something like this to Romeo must die. Deserves his flowers.
I know Cassie couldn't place the actors so, Donnie Wahlberg-Band of Brothers-Lipton, Rene Russo-THOR's mom & Major League, and Gary Sinise-The Green Mile & Apollo 13
Rene Russo also was in the lethal weapon movies with Mel Gibson.
This is Ron Howard's most underrated film. The tone, the writing, and the performances are OSCAR worthy. The suspense is going to keep you on the edge of your seat, and Mel Gibson and Gary Sinise are meeting when you really get into it. Gary Sinise, bless his heart, and he has some of the most convincing eyes in Cinema history, and it shows here.
It was not rated under. It was in fact a big hit!
@genghisgalahad8465 it certainly was, but this film doesn't get a lot of reactions like other Ron Howard films.
@@CSC52698 blockbuster and critical acclaim (which means positive reviews, to let you know) are what you define as "underrated?" I do not think it means what you think it means. You do actually mean underappreciated. Is there an actor rating website I don't know about like Rotten Tomatoes, which wasn't around then? What do you even mean by "underrated?"
@@CSC52698 okay, now I think I get what you mean by "underrated," it's just that it's more underappreciated on reaction channels, that's all. There is no "rating" system I know of of actors or directors.
Belated Happy Birthday to Mel Gibson yesterday, he turned 68.
"Ransom" was originally a movie from the 50s starring Glenn Ford and a young Leslie Nielsen long before "Airplane!" or "Naked Gun". Both movies are terrific in their own way.
Shirley, you must be joking...
Had no idea this was a remake.
@@genghisgalahad8465 I'm not joking. And don't call me Shirley.
I saw the Glenn Ford and Donna Reed version (1956) when I was a kid. Long before a script was a twinkle in anyone's eyes for this remake. I honestly have to say the original was better by 'not' having a crime-tainted father.
@PE4Doers I agree, it feels really unnecessary. Doesn't hurt this one's overall quality though. It was also done in the remake of "Taking of Pelham 123" with Denzel's character revealed to have taken a bribe - one of the biggest changes from the original and a really stupid one. One of so many reasons that version sucked.
These two have been watching hundreds of big movies for a good 2 years now. How come they've never seen any of them before ? Were they living under a rock ?
I had not realized how much Cassie and Carly crying would upset me... Love you ladies..
What a ride!
One of my fave Mel movies (so many to choose from). Gary Sinise and Rene Russo were fantastic in this (you two would LOVE her in The Thomas Crown Affair)
Ron Howard and Sinise had teamed up before Ransom on a little flick called Apollo 13.
Yas!!! Push Thomas 👑 Affair... they will lose their minds!!!
Definitely push for THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR.
You should know Donnie Wahlberg very well by now. He was in Band of Brothers.
You need to watch *The Thomas Crown Affair* with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.
When you provide a well written script and put a strong cast around Mel Gibson, a great film emerges. He won’t let you down. The intensity during the back and forth between him and Sinise over the phone was movie magic!
I couldn’t wait for that scene as soon as I started the reaction.
*Cassie: "I would press in the bullet wound!!!"*
- Parental instincts overcome fear every time. Im deathly afraid of certain insects (NOT moths). I once cracked two ribs cuz I ran right off my front porch cuz I thought a baby tree frog the size of a quarter was a spider that had jumped on my face. A week later Im calmly brushing bees off my daughter's pants while getting stung repeatedly. She forgot the bee part of course, but she's made a birthday card for me for 11 straight years with a frog on it. 🐸
EDIT: I'm laying on the ground struggling to breathe, and my just turned 3 daughter is petting the frog and berating me for "scaring froggy." GOOD TIMES
Gary Sinise is an amazing person. He has been a shining light for a longtime. Look up his organization and see the reason why he has not been in anything for awhile. One of the few good celebs that uses their name for good.
If you're going to suggest someone look an organization up, it would be a good idea to give the name of the organization.
When I saw this movie I had never seen Donnie Wahlberg as anything other than singing and dancing in New Kids on The Block
Love Donny Walberg. He was amazing in Band of Brothers. And Gary has done so much for the troops. The Lt. Dan Band is my favorite musical act of all time.
"I would press into the bullet wound!" 😂😂 changed days for these ladies.
I would love to be a guest on an episode just to answer questions about actors.."yes that's Donnie Wahlberg who was also in NKOTB, and that's Dan Hedaya who was in Clueless and The Addams Family"
I would love to be that guest :)
I think they're even too young for NKOTB. I think they're more N'Sync, Backstreet.
It's good to see the praise this film has, and the reactions it gets, even when it flies out of the radar a lot. I have my theory why this is not that well remembered, though, and your reactions in the video confirm it: it's not a bad film, but an intense film some suffer due to the very good acting. For those who don't get connected to the story, it flies over their heads; and for those who get connected, they want to rip Gary Sinise to pieces and don't want to relieve the experience soon XD. And so, the film stays in this limbo where only those who want to face the roller coaster one more time check it again.
Fun personal story: my parents got to see several films on TV rather on cinemas, due to schedules, prices, not very engaging publicity, etc. This meant they were exposed to the roles of several actors out of order and the very first time they saw Gary Sinise was in Ransom. And they hated him with passion, so much so, for several years they refused to watch films if they knew Sinise had a big part in the project XD. It wouldn't be until they saw Forrest Gump and Apollo 13 several times they could make peace with the presence of the actor in the screen (eventually, Ransom stopped being scheduled on TV and that helped; because at one point it was the only film with him in the local programming). The side effects of being a good actor and making a superb villain, I guess.
Nice reaction, and see you in the next one.
“How did he know he knew?”
Because shaker is a detective. He reads body language and can tell when people are lying for a living
*_"GIVE ME BACK MY SON!!"_* was the perfect button to end a trailer.
at least it did not spoil the ending like castaway trailer showing he got off the island
Holy cow, I didn’t expect this to affect Cassie so much. I feel almost guilty watching this lol 🤷♂️
If you've been watching this channel for a while, you'd know how hard Cassie and Carly take anything Family. especially when it comes to Kids/Children. They acted pretty much how I assumed they would. Great Reaction from them. They are some very good, pure, people. And being truly Authentic is what makes this channel work.
@@danielhaas9612 I agree wholeheartedly. I also share Carly's confusion at people who can watch a movie like Ransom and have no visible reaction like nothing fazes them. Maybe we, as a society, have become numbed and accustomed to violence, especially violence against children who are shot and killed while attending school. It scares me to think that our basic sense of humanity is slowly eroding, but I also appreciate people like Cassie and Carly who keep me hopeful that there are like-minded, decent people in the world.
@@danielhaas9612 Fyi, you don't need that comma after the word "pure".
@@lisalivingston6473 It's not so much about being numbed. It's about knowing it's all pretend. The little boy was never in danger. Lili Taylor, Donnie Wahlberg, and Liev Schreiber were probably like his goofy aunt and uncles on set. Gary Sinise and Mel Gibson were most likely cracking jokes while making the final shootout scene. Once you've watched enough behind-the-scenes material and read enough articles on how the sausage is made, it's almost impossible to watch something without noticing every little detail. From framing, blocking, lighting, zooms, dollies, crane shots, color correction, sound design, ADR, and foley effects to character arcs, calls to action, Chekov's guns, saving of cats, and dark nights of the souls - it all looks like an elaborate Lego construct when you notice it. It can take the emotion out of it.
@@jsharp3165 yeah I still react and cry and get emotional at movies. However I don't react like this and that's why I love watching them react. They get so invested in the film but I'm the same as you, I know it's a film and I can easily separate that but still enjoy the movie without that emotion.
OMG, CASSIE!!!! I had to stop!! You can't do that to me!!! At 29:36-30:00, you gave us the most endearing and heartwrenching reaction to a movie that I've ever seen on RUclips!!! I've seen Ransom a dozen times over the years, but seeing it through your eyes was like seeing it for the first time!! Now, I need to put my heart back in my chest and finish watching. Love you P.I.B ladies!! 😭💖
Your reaction to this film speaks volumes about your maternal instincts-I've never seen either of you react so intensively in any of your prior videos. Those scenes with Sean are difficult to watch, Ron Howard and the cast did an incredible job in creating so much tension and in engrossing the viewer.
I remember going to the cinema to see this when it came out. I was about 16. Seeing Gary Sinise as the unhinged bad cop was quite the twist at the time, since I'd last seen him as Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump. Some great twists and turns in this film, but for some reason it seems to have fallen a bit into obscurity in recent years...clearly it still delivers. And fyi Brawley Nolte (Sean) is actor Nick Nolte's son.
@ekidd79 I had no idea that Brawley Nolte is Nick's son. Thanks for sharing that interesting piece of trivia!
Mel Gibson v Gary Sinise!
It doesn't get much better than that!
I love your genuine and concerned reactions, when you get invested in the characters!
Gary Sinise, the villain in this movie, is actually a wonderful person in real life. Has a charity called the Gary Sinise Foundation that raises money and builds homes for wounded veterans and their families. He puts lots of time and his own personal money into the project. He has helped many wounded warriors and their families in the past few years. Besides being a great actor he is a truly good soul.
I truly wasn't expecting this movie to be the last Popcorn In Bed reaction. They'll never trust us again.
Last ??
"I will never forgive any of you for making me watch this movie if he jumps..."
Cassie, you and Carly are priceless. The movie was excellent but I had an even better time watching you two react to it. At the same time I felt really badly for you both because I could feel your turmoil. I have never seen two more genuine people in my life. That's what makes you who you are. Don't ever change.
Yeah, Cassie told me that was directed towards me since I sent the movie to her. Thankfully we're good now😊
Loving your reactions to films I've loved for many years... it's so much fun watching them through fresh eyes and your reactions are fantastic!
You'll also like Payback, made around the same time as this
The "Give me back my son!" moment was the last thing you saw on the trailer for the movie and instantly became one of the all time greatest movie quotes.
Very well acted and directed classic 90s thriller, this is definitely one of Mel Gibson's greatest performances. Rene Russo who plays his wife was also in Major League and my favorite movie of hers is the excellent comedy Get Shorty with John Travolta and probably her best work is in the Jake Gyllenhaal noir crime movie Nightcrawler. Yes that's Mark Wahlberg's brother Donnie who was also the one who murdered Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense, very underrated for his acting. He's been starring in the long running police drama Blue Bloods and also a member of the music group New Kids on the Block.
@navidhudson7065 I loved Rene Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair. She had great chemistry with both Pierce Brosnan and Dennis Leary.
I think Donnie is extremely underrated as an actor! He was crazy good in his short 6th sense role.
@@sunnyj210 He sure is! He was crazy good in that sixth sense part, his movie roles may be limited but he's great in blue bloods.
@@sunnyj210 Also as Lt. Lipton in Band of Brothers
I didn't see Band of Brothers but i did watch him in every season of Blue Bloods. However, As a very young girl in the late 80s I still think he was best as the 5th member of New Kids on the Block. 🙃
Please tell me Cassie eventually figured out that Donnie Walhberg is Carwood Lipton from Band of Brothers!
Never be embarrassed about getting emotional at a movie, because a good movie should move your emotions to their extents.
I disagree. A good movie should give you whatever you expect from it.
A great movie should do the same, and also provide even more than you were expecting.
All of this can be done without emotion being involved.
I didn't watch Bill and Ted expecting to be emotionally pushed to my limits.
I didn't watch Monty Python [anything] expecting to be emotionally pushed to my limits.
I didn't watch [Die Hard movies] expecting to be emotionally pushed to my limits.
But all of these were clearly good (and in some cases great) movies.
I don't think the corollary might be true, either. "Any movie that makes you emotional is good." No. That just simply doesn't work. And there are plenty of bleak examples that demonstrate this.
I'm not embarrassed about getting emotional when I feel it; but your statement simply makes no sense.
A good movie should do whatever it is that is needed to fulfil your needs as a someone watching that movie. Sometimes it also offers more, like a message or life guidance. But essentially by deciding to watch a movie you are saying; "give me what I want."
Her “Oh crap” right at the beginning cracked me up! Their genuine reactions are always great entertainment.
This is the one Mel Gibson/Ron Howard film I watch more than any other. I am so glad you guys are watching this. A real hidden gem and lost classic.
I haven't watched it in years, but I remember almost every scene like it was yesterday. I was working in a theater when it came out.
Cassie, Cassie, Cassie: of course you know Donnie Wahlberg as Lipton from Band of Brothers!! He was also a founding member of New Kids on the Block (tho that was before your time). And Gary Sinise you know well from Forrest Gump and Apollo 13.
One of my all time favorite movies! It's really a stand out movies from the 90s. So good!! Thank you so much for reacting to this!!!👍🎉🎉🥳
This is a great movie that no one else has reacted to. Glad you got to see it.
Nothing like a Mel Gibson movie to bring the intense emotions out of Cassie and Carly. Between the Patriot, Braveheart, We Were Soldiers and now Ransom his movies have given us some of their best reactions.
Seriously!
Maverick reaction was awesome also. Really waiting for them to see Edge of Darkness and Conspiracy Theory! 😊
It's good that nobody so far has suggested "Mad Max" then...
One of the best actors ever!
I think it also helped as this was back when movies were filmed on location. Gives a certain feel of authenticity.
Phone Booth with Forrest Whitaker and Coline Farrell is a Very underrated Film.....
Mel Gibson films: Conspiracy Theory, Man Without A Face, Payback. Also, Cassie should do a rewatch of the Lethal Weapon series with Carly. Carly likes the Die Hard films and Mel Gibson; it's a perfect match. ETA: Carly would probably know Rene Russo as Thor's mother in the MCU films.
Only 4th she needs to watch with Carky😊
Ron Howard makes some of my all time favorite movies.
