merklekranz Review of Incident at Deception Ridge

Incident at Deception Ridge (1994 TV Movie)

Sometimes you kidnap the wrong woman .............

[6/10 · 17 November 2010]

Kidnapping a wealthy woman can lead to problems, especially if her husband is not only unwilling to pay the kidnappers, but flees with the ransom money. An uneasy alliance is quickly formed and a pursuit through the Washington State Forest ensues. There are some surprise revelations along the way, a bit of dark humor, and a lot of emotional hand holding. Guns miraculously turn up in a bus first aid kit, and at a fish hatchery, aiding the survivors of a bus wreck as they flee. Ed Begley Jr. and Miguel Ferrer provide some stability to the otherwise amateurish acting, and there are a couple of exciting moments, otherwise this is easily forgettable. -MERK
