Not a bad film. This version of the DVD opens in 2.35:1 on credits then pans out to 1.85:1. The overall quality is not great though.

Ricochet is a shamelessly Enjoyable Violent Romp from the early nineties.It features a truly great Baddie in the brilliant John lithgow who is just barking at the moon in this with sadistic menace,The Actions gritty and over the top,and the pace never lets up.Then theres Denzil washington in an early role a good few years before Training day"He,s Fantastic,Theres some Great scenes of Frenzied Paranoia"as Lithgow plays with his mind.Overall this is a very efficiant Action film,very un sung and underatted,"it,s a shame because it,s well worth checking out.

Not many people are aware that this film exisits, which is a shame as it truly deserves recognition. I first watched this film about 6 years ago and I forgot how enjoyable and underrated this film really is...

John Lithgow, of Cliffhanger fame, plays a saddistic former hitman hellbent on ruining Denzels life and terrorising his family. Lithgow plays the role with such a sinister passion that his character almost seems real. A superb actor who always delivers.

Denzel, as always, is on top form as the cop who rises in the rankings and you genuinely feel his despair at trying to prove his innocence and protect his family.

If your after a slick, sinister and thought provoking thriller, you won't be dissapointed.
