If you're in the mood for a taut, cerebral thriller with real atmosphere, dive in—this is peak Polanski paranoia wrapped around a man-out-of-his-element premise that actually delivers. Harrison Ford brings desperate urgency to the role, and the Paris setting becomes a character itself in this legitimately gripping cat-and-mouse game.

Plot

The wife of an American doctor suddenly vanishes in Paris. To find her, he navigates a puzzling web of language, locale, laissez-faire cops, triplicate-form filling bureaucrats and a defiant, mysterious waif who knows more than she tells.
