1.0 out of 5 starsBad quality
Reviewed in Canada on March 22, 2021
The only thing i liked, was that it was cool to see a movie I haven’t seen in a long time. That being said the first thing I noticed it had a Walmart label on it which means it probably came out of the $5 bin vice what I paid for it. The quality was very poor. I know this movie is from 1991 but I have old movies which look new compared to this DVD. The aspect ratio looks like it should be seen on a 19” tv. Even after adjusting this picture with tv control it just made the resolution worse. Unless you are desperate or a die hard fan of the cast don’t waste your money. :-(

5.0 out of 5 stars Exhilirating
Reviewed in Canada on May 16, 2000
This is a brilliantly scripted and acted action-suspense-thriller. Some scenes are extra-violent, with one prison guard having his torso carved in half with a power tool during a break-out; in another scene, the chief villain is sent flying off a tower and ends up pinned like a beetle on a pole. The first half is undoubtedly the best, with its tense and absorbing psychological battle between Earl Blake (John Lithgow) and Nick Styles (Denzel Washington) the smart, wise-cracking cop who put him away, and who then turns succesful District Attorney. It is Styles's success that Blake venomously grudges and so he hatches an elaborate and devious plan from out of prison to destroy Styles. The second half of the film is characterised by implausibility and anti-climax. But on the whole, the dialogue is above the average and the action has a hard-trimmed, gritty quality about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very violent movie.
Reviewed in Canada on July 20, 2002
My recollections of this movie are from memory. The part that I remember most vividly is John Lithgow killing Jessie Ventura in his own prison cell with his bare hands.
I did buy this video and will write more when I watch it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Known Early Denzel Gem.

After searching for cheap films on Amazon whilst starring top actors i came across Ricochet,a film i'd never heard of but bought it due to mainly good reviews.All i can say after watching it is that yes it is slightly dated and the picture isn't the best (any future release may clear this up though) but i sat down and watched a top class thriller of "imprisoned bad guy wanting revenge on the guy who put him there" ala Cape Fear and it does not disappoint.As a fan of Denzel Washington i pretty much own most of his films and this is right up with his best work and for the cheap price you can pick this little gem up for its well worth a look.
