Critic Reviews

  • Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com

    Ford commits, but this mawkish script would barely pass muster on Lifetime, taking the easy route any chance it gets, with an aggravating routine of rich white people feeling bad for rich white people.

  • Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

    an intriguing mess

  • Emanuel Levy, Screendaily

    Lack of realism is not the problem of this Mike Nichols' drama; it's the simplistic messages and the time-worn cliches that make it flawed--despite good acting from Harrison Ford in the lead.

  • Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan

    Perhaps Ford's best work, certainly his most challenging role.

  • James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette

    Soap opera, to be sure, but reasonably entertaining

    Ford is great but he has to be in order keep this movie even close to average. Full review later.

  • AJ V


    A beautiful, sad, yet hopeful movie. I loved it. I think it's Ford's best dramatic role I've seen. If you're a fan of his, you have to see this.

  • Tim S


    A forgotten Ford film.

  • Anthony L


    The acting wasn?t bad but the plot was terrible! Unremarkable.

  • Dean !


    A great film showing how quickly your life can change. Ford gives a very strong performance as a man who goes from one extreme to another after being shot.
