Script review - "Proof of Life" by Tony Gilroy

 The film wasn't a bit hit but I remember it fondly- how well cast was Russell Crowe and David Caruso, how miscast was Meg Ryan. She gives a good performance but she was too big a star for the role who is just willowy really. Needed an Ingrid Bergman passive type "I can't make up my mind".

The script is fun to read, a page turner, interesting world, romantic center, the K and R blokes are funny. Terry and Alice sleep together in this version - apparently that ws filmed. Good to cut. The kidnapped American is a bit obnoxious yelling at his kidnappers.
