Help! I have a partial memory of a film running through my head and I can't place it. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

A hero has accidentally (I think) kidnapped the daughter of a rich and dangerous man.

In a moment of calm between action scenes the woman says she was kidnapped once before as a child. The kidnappers sent a pint of her blood to her father every week until he paid the ransom. Her father waited until 4 or 5 pints had been sent before he paid up, showing her how little he cared for her.

Any ideas? I keep picturing her as Gwyneth Paltrow but not convinced it was her.

The chase? From the 90s.
That's accidentally kidnapping a rich girl, but it's a comedy.

Fwooper is right, it's a life less ordinary.
Well done Fwooper!

No, there's nothing like that in Ruthless People.

It sounds a bit dark for Ruthless People. 😂

I LOVED a life less ordinary! Must look it out! (Also ruthless people!)

Cameron Diaz.

Thank you! Yes I think it was a Life Less Ordinary. Cameron Diaz is the face I can remember. Thank you Mumsnet!

I have no other memories of this film but I must have seen it at some point
