I first watched this almost 20 years ago and, as a kid, the little bit of 'upskirt' action as Emmanuelle Seigner dangled from the roof set my heart racing. That is literally the reason the movie stuck in my head.
Watching it again in 2021, it's hilarious to see how excitable a teenaged boy is. Yeah, she dangles in her miniskirt but, damn, I'm laughing so hard at my teen self.
Anyway, the plot opens up very nicely and the disappearance is pretty well done. Ford captures the frantic, helpless husband persona well. Seigner does well to convey her sorta-ditzy, sorta-streetwise character.
The shockingly bad part of the plot is how casually everyone treats the thingamajig they are after. It's like children have been put in charge of national and international security.
So, if you're a teenaged boy, watch it for Emmanuelle's legs; if you're an adult, you may like the plot.
