Can anybody recommend any similar films to Frantic?
I can't think of any off the top of my head and any suggestions would be appreciated.
Breakdown-with kurt russell
Taken-more of an action film

Tell No One.
Seriously awesome movie, and another French one too :)
I agree, tell no one is a great film
shareMuch better than Frantic, actually.

I'm not sure about that (Tell No One being better than Frantic) but it is worth watching all the same...
Breakdown is surprisingly good too.

A VERY good recent movie is Unknown with LIam Neeson where Liam actually also plays a doctor going to Europe for a medical convention and also involves a luggage mishap at the airport and a younger female character who is a hustler/thief type person. I think there is more suspense and better action in that movie actually. That movie takes place in Berlin and they use the setting very well as a foreboding city whereas I don't think they could really do that with Paris since Paris is more romantic and touristy.
shareYeah, I was wondering why people were mentioning Taken when another recent Liam Neeson movie, Uknown, is practically a carbon copy of Frantic.

For me, the best movie that I have watched about disappearances is Spoorloos
You guys should really give it a try. And it's French, too...
There's really good, kind of obscure, made-for-tv movie from the early '70s by the name of YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN...a husband and wife have a fight, the wife disappears, and after reporting her missing the police suspect the husband of being her murderer.

I feel that this film, along with Polanski's other contemporary thrillers 'The Ninth Gate' and 'The Ghost' form a kind of trilogy about otherwise capable and intelligent men who are thrown into a strange mystery, complete with colourful characters and bizarre twists. The Ninth Gate is probably one of my favourite thrillers, despite not really working that well as a film - I just enjoy the slow pacing and atmosphere.
