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.
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 )
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.
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!" 🤣
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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.
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..
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.
@@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.
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...😀😀😀
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.
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.
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.
*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
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.
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 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.
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!
Would it help to know that a father shooting dead the kidnapper of his son in full view of the police and getting away with it is a thing that has happened in real life? Look up Gary Plauche.
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.
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.
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.😃
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!!!!!!
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 TH-cam!!! 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!! 😭💖
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 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."
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.
"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.!
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.
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.”
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!
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
Somebody may have already commented on this, that this movie is a 'Remake' from 1956, "Ransom!" staring Glenn Ford. In that movie however, the father is NOT guilty of any crimes prior to the kidnapping of his son. I won't give any more away, just in case you want to watch that excellent B&W movie.
Gary Sinise was so evil it was easy to forget he's one of the best people. Also, Mel Gibson is a badass. Now a "Payback" reaction can't be far and that's a great revenge movie.
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.
Ron Howard’s underrated classic. Sadly inspired on an experience his own family endured… FUN FACT: Gary Sinise once approached Director Ron Howard, alongside co-star Mel Gibson, to ask his opinion on how to BEST handle a difficult scene and halfway into his question stopped and said “Wait…why am I asking you?” And turned and asked the question to Gibson instead….(Mel Gibson had just won BEST DIRECTOR for BRAVEHEART beating out Ron Howard’s APOLLO 11)…..😅😅😅😅😅
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.
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.
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.
Donnie Wahlburg is the first “Famous” actor or singer in the family, he was one of the main kids in New Kids on the Block. He is a very good actor as well, Band of Brothers, The 6th Sense and the TV show Blue Bloods. Plus, he is a really nice guy as well.
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.
"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.
"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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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. 🙃
I love every opportunity for Carly to make an appearance. But Ransom?! Oh Cassie, baby! You picked a great one!! My favorite part of this is when Tom is laying out his plan for the ransom bounty. And he says, just so pointedly "Do you know anyone who wouldn't turn you in for 2 million dollars? I don't think you do. I doubt it." Just the perfect way of telling someone that they and everyone they know are scum and it's about to be exploited. Can't help but cheer for him.
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"
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.
this movie was a very emotional movie for me. Seeing you react when he fires the gun (with us thinking that the boy was killed) hit me really hard. it brought me to tears just seeing you cry, let alone the movie still hitting me right int he gut. This is why your reactions to all video's you make are absolutely top notch. Love you girls so much. Thank you for your channel. 🙂
I have never seen Cassie that intense during a reaction before, but then I remembered she a a mom herself. Not easy seeing her cry like that, but damn what a great reaction! Glad you guys are oke, lol!
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.
This movie and The Patriot - both of your reactions were exactly what many people were feeling and you know what? I hope the actors and director see how their work MOVED you. I don't know that they ever do except maybe at the premier, but they aren't in every theater, aren't meeting the paying customers, aren't seeing that success every time you have sweaty palms, racing hearts, tears of rage, fear or joy. That's one of the best things to come out of reactor channels. By the way, you want to see Mel Gibson as a bad guy you root for? "Payback" as a bunch of people have already recommended. Keep reacting!
@joelwillems4081 agreed....that's why I mention the premiere:-) Cruise is one in a million, reaching out to the sisters. Hollywood has lost touch with the fan base too much. Cruise is smart to recognize it and try to rebuild bridges with the younger crowd
The original 1956 version is Leslie Nielsen's feature film debut. He'd done a dozen or more TV episodes at that point and we see his dramatic star rise. Glenn Ford is the strong-willed dad, and beautiful Donna Reed is ugli-fied, wave after wave, trauma by trauma is an amazing transformation. I don't know of any other film where the beautiful starlet is 'crushed' under uglier makeup. It's a powerful version although it lacks any exposure of the kidnapper/villain. Leslie plays an on-the-scene in-the-home reporter whose once imagined 'great scoop' becomes a horrible weight.
oh wow I have never seen that film and they had the bright idea to make Gorgeous DONNA Reed get ugly? lol now i have to look for it somewhere soon ahaha
@@michaelceraso1977 Everyone looks ugly when bawling, so of course that's Step One. Step Two - puffy, red (in b&w) eyes... scene after scene, until she's bedridden upstairs, and is then brought down in a gurney. She is not a focal point of the film, but those few scenes she's in are all the more powerful as Remembered Scenes.
your reaction jerked the tears outta me. the 90s were just a brilliant decade for movies. please do the movie : Frequency.... it's a special kind filled with every emotion you can imagine. thriller/fantasy/heartwarming. greeting from Germany
29:21 This is EXACTLY how I expected you to react, Cassie because of your huge heart. You had ME in tears and I already knew the ending of this movie. Thank you so much for being who you are. This world NEEDS people like you and Carly. THAT is why I will continue watching your reactions.
For Jimmy Shaker, it was not about the money, it was about winning. Proving to everyone he was the top guy. If you want to see something even more stressing, involving children and kidnapping, watch "Sound of Freedom."
One of Mel’s greatest performances! Such a beast of an actor! Gary Sinise as well! Fantastic reaction ladies. I’m proud of Cass for getting through this one lol it’s a roller coaster of emotions for sure.
The monologue in front of the news cameras is so damn good, the maniac intensity of Mel Gibson being just like any real father would have, the acting out of the norm for Gary Sinise as a bad guy, all of this is so amazing! Thank you for your reactions, I love watching you two!
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.
You ladies probably won't see this, but I was reminded of a good movie from around the same time you guys should watch: "The Salton Sea" with Val Kilmer and Peter Sarsgaard. One of my favorite movies from my college days and a great acting performance from Val.
![American reacts to Posts That Prove American's Think That Only They Exist [part 2]](/img/n.gif)
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.
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.

the GIMME BACK MY SON gives me chills every time
Hell, there's people that'd turn you in for a Big Mac and a McFlurry
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 ".
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 "
hey im mark wahlberg say hello to your mom for me
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.
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. 🤣
I gotta say, out of all the reactions to all the movies I’ve seen people react to, this reaction was phenomenal.
“Push your thumb in the bullet wound hole” absolute all time classic Cassie line where did that even come from😂

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
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. 🥲
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!
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.
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!!!
Get a grip, sheesh.
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…
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.
it's funny how everyone on earth knew exactly what he was thinking when he swung open those patio doors. brilliant.
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!
Mel Gibson is one of the greatest actors of all time.
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.
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
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
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.
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!
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‼️👏👏👏
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.
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
*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
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.
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
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
@@AnthonyMartin-k8m Oh. lol. Thought you meant he passed.
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!
Would it help to know that a father shooting dead the kidnapper of his son in full view of the police and getting away with it is a thing that has happened in real life? Look up Gary Plauche.
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.
This movie is like Jaws. It tugs at your worst fears and is relatable on every level weather your a parent or not.
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.
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.
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.😃
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!!!!!!
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 TH-cam!!! 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!! 😭💖
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.
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.
My guy delroy lindo is always on point. From something like this to Romeo must die. Deserves his flowers.
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.
The 80s was a decade for great music, and the 90s was the decade for great films.
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.
"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...
"Give me back my son!"
Classic Gibson.
That whole scene is classic. Find me a more iconic 90s scene.
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 ;)
You 2 have one more Mel Gibson War to watch "Gallipoli"(1981). The worse battle in Aussie History.
29:39 This is great female mother rage. Rene Russo is so good in the 90's
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.
In the end, Shaker would've killed them all anyway. He couldn't trust any of them, and it was always about him getting the money.
This movie was a rollercoaster. I remember seeing this in cinema and the shock in the scene when Sinise fires the gun. Heart-stopping.
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.”
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.
Donnie Wahlburg is in Band Of Brothers. He plays Carwood Lipton.
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 🙂🇬🇧
Somebody may have already commented on this, that this movie is a 'Remake' from 1956, "Ransom!" staring Glenn Ford. In that movie however, the father is NOT guilty of any crimes prior to the kidnapping of his son. I won't give any more away, just in case you want to watch that excellent B&W movie.
Also, Donna Reed (from "It's a Wonderful Life") is the mother in that original movie.
Gary Sinise was so evil it was easy to forget he's one of the best people.
Also, Mel Gibson is a badass. Now a "Payback" reaction can't be far and that's a great revenge movie.
You clearly, forget when he also voiced evil characters like Shaw in Open Season.
Well, this was like one year after Apollo 13. He had just saved Tom Hanks. He can't be bad.
they would not like Payback ?
Sinise is also great in Of Mice and Men which he also directs.❤
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.
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.
Ron Howard’s underrated classic. Sadly inspired on an experience his own family endured… FUN FACT: Gary Sinise once approached Director Ron Howard, alongside co-star Mel Gibson, to ask his opinion on how to BEST handle a difficult scene and halfway into his question stopped and said “Wait…why am I asking you?” And turned and asked the question to Gibson instead….(Mel Gibson had just won BEST DIRECTOR for BRAVEHEART beating out Ron Howard’s APOLLO 11)…..😅😅😅😅😅
The kid is Nick Nolte's son, Brawley Nolte. This was his first film.
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.
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.
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.
Donnie Wahlburg is the first “Famous” actor or singer in the family, he was one of the main kids in New Kids on the Block. He is a very good actor as well, Band of Brothers, The 6th Sense and the TV show Blue Bloods. Plus, he is a really nice guy as well.
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.
"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😊
"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.
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.
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.
I had not realized how much Cassie and Carly crying would upset me... Love you ladies..
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. 🙃
I love every opportunity for Carly to make an appearance. But Ransom?! Oh Cassie, baby! You picked a great one!!
My favorite part of this is when Tom is laying out his plan for the ransom bounty. And he says, just so pointedly "Do you know anyone who wouldn't turn you in for 2 million dollars? I don't think you do. I doubt it."
Just the perfect way of telling someone that they and everyone they know are scum and it's about to be exploited. Can't help but cheer for him.
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.
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😊
This is the most emotional I have seen from you girls. Thanks for the reaction!
Have you never seen her reaction to Rabbit Proof Fence? Only a Patreon exclusive unfortunately.
this movie was a very emotional movie for me. Seeing you react when he fires the gun (with us thinking that the boy was killed) hit me really hard. it brought me to tears just seeing you cry, let alone the movie still hitting me right int he gut. This is why your reactions to all video's you make are absolutely top notch. Love you girls so much. Thank you for your channel. 🙂
I have never seen Cassie that intense during a reaction before, but then I remembered she a a mom herself. Not easy seeing her cry like that, but damn what a great reaction! Glad you guys are oke, lol!
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.
You should know Donnie Wahlberg very well by now. He was in Band of Brothers.
When I saw this movie I had never seen Donnie Wahlberg as anything other than singing and dancing in New Kids on The Block
Great reaction to a great movie. Ye guys are so empathetic. I've never seen Cassie hunched forward so much with stress and tension.
Girls like them are rare nowadays May God protect these two gems.
This movie and The Patriot - both of your reactions were exactly what many people were feeling and you know what? I hope the actors and director see how their work MOVED you. I don't know that they ever do except maybe at the premier, but they aren't in every theater, aren't meeting the paying customers, aren't seeing that success every time you have sweaty palms, racing hearts, tears of rage, fear or joy. That's one of the best things to come out of reactor channels.
By the way, you want to see Mel Gibson as a bad guy you root for? "Payback" as a bunch of people have already recommended.
Keep reacting!
Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie saw their reactions to some of the Mission Impossible films. They invited them to the Top Gun Maverick premiere.
@joelwillems4081 agreed....that's why I mention the premiere:-) Cruise is one in a million, reaching out to the sisters. Hollywood has lost touch with the fan base too much. Cruise is smart to recognize it and try to rebuild bridges with the younger crowd
The original 1956 version is Leslie Nielsen's feature film debut. He'd done a dozen or more TV episodes at that point and we see his dramatic star rise. Glenn Ford is the strong-willed dad, and beautiful Donna Reed is ugli-fied, wave after wave, trauma by trauma is an amazing transformation. I don't know of any other film where the beautiful starlet is 'crushed' under uglier makeup. It's a powerful version although it lacks any exposure of the kidnapper/villain. Leslie plays an on-the-scene in-the-home reporter whose once imagined 'great scoop' becomes a horrible weight.
oh wow I have never seen that film and they had the bright idea to make Gorgeous DONNA Reed get ugly? lol now i have to look for it somewhere soon ahaha
Glenn Ford's sweaty, trembling, terrified TV station "bounty on your head" scene is one of the most intense movie scenes of all time.
It's very very good. It's much more contained. It basically takes place solely in their house.
@@michaelceraso1977 Everyone looks ugly when bawling, so of course that's Step One. Step Two - puffy, red (in b&w) eyes... scene after scene, until she's bedridden upstairs, and is then brought down in a gurney. She is not a focal point of the film, but those few scenes she's in are all the more powerful as Remembered Scenes.
The original version is definitely worth seeing.
your reaction jerked the tears outta me. the 90s were just a brilliant decade for movies. please do the movie : Frequency.... it's a special kind filled with every emotion you can imagine. thriller/fantasy/heartwarming. greeting from Germany
29:21 This is EXACTLY how I expected you to react, Cassie because of your huge heart. You had ME in tears and I already knew the ending of this movie. Thank you so much for being who you are. This world NEEDS people like you and Carly. THAT is why I will continue watching your reactions.
For Jimmy Shaker, it was not about the money, it was about winning. Proving to everyone he was the top guy.
If you want to see something even more stressing, involving children and kidnapping, watch "Sound of Freedom."
One of Mel’s greatest performances! Such a beast of an actor! Gary Sinise as well! Fantastic reaction ladies. I’m proud of Cass for getting through this one lol it’s a roller coaster of emotions for sure.
The monologue in front of the news cameras is so damn good, the maniac intensity of Mel Gibson being just like any real father would have, the acting out of the norm for Gary Sinise as a bad guy, all of this is so amazing! Thank you for your reactions, I love watching you two!
"I would press into the bullet wound!" 😂😂 changed days for these ladies.
Renee Russo was in Outbreak, as Dustin Hoffman's wife/ex wife.
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.
You ladies probably won't see this, but I was reminded of a good movie from around the same time you guys should watch: "The Salton Sea" with Val Kilmer and Peter Sarsgaard. One of my favorite movies from my college days and a great acting performance from Val.
*_"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
I love your genuine and concerned reactions, when you get invested in the characters!
