1.0 out of 5 stars The Touch stinks, November 18, 2007

By	D. M. Hinxman "Tapani36" (Stuart Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In the first place, the sound and video are not in sync... maybe just in the one I got, but the movie is not worth replacing! The picture on the case doesn't depict Costner as he is in the movie.

It is a B movie at best, and Costner must have been 15 when he made it... the picture looks like it's a recent movie.

Also, the movie STINKS!!!

Don't go near this one if you are a Costner fan... it must be an embarrasment to him. There is no redeeming factor in this movie... It just plain STINKS!

1. TIM (1979): A poignant drama about an older business woman, Mary Horton, who befriends Tim (Mel Gibson), a slightly, mentally handicapped young man who she has employed to work around her home. They develop a close, personal friendship, and Mary teaches Tim how to read and invites him down to her summer house at the beach. Though Tim's family love him very much, they are over-protective, and have no idea that he is falling in love with his employer. When Tim's mother has a heart attack and dies, it is Mary who Tim turns to for comfort, with surprising results...

2. THE TOUCH (1983): A seemingly shy girl (Andra Millian) who possesses an uncanny skill at playing blackjack, sets up an ingenious "sting" operation. Local gambler Will (A young Kevin Costner) recognizes her talents, and convinces her to let him take her to his friend and blackjack mastermind, "the Kid" (Ed Semenza) to polish her abilities. An unlikely group of "knights," including various male friends, assist the daring young lady in bringing the house down.
