In the painting “Living proof” the author “invested his soul”. The actors are perfectly selected in the film. Meg Ryan plays the wife of an engineer who is taken hostage by South American terrorists. The girl received 15 million dollars for work in the tape. Russell Crowe plays a negotiator who falls in love with Meg. The film takes place in different parts of the world.
