Frantic. 1988.

While in Paris Dr. Richard Walker's wife disappears from his hotel room, on a hunt to find her he is caught up in murder, drugs, gangsters and his only Allie is a girl called Michelle.

First time seeing this since early 90s and vaguely remembered very little about it, Harrison Ford plays the lead and seems well out of his league while scaling roof tops but doesn't stop him having a heart and some humour. Emmanuelle Seigner plays the young courier Michelle who just wants her money but ends up helping Ford.

Roman Polanski and Gerard Brach basically created a story that doesn't go on forever and starts 10 minutes into the film and then like the title one man goes Frantic in a way any other man would and with decent careful direction by Polanski, this was a good tense thriller, mixed in with some mind games played about.
