5.0 out of 5 stars A Refreshingly Subtle Film, February 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Random Hearts (DVD)

RANDOM HEARTS was my favorite movie of 1999, but it is most definitely not a movie for everyone. To enjoy RH, you must have an attention span longer than a sound bite. Everything will not be spelled out for you, and you will actually have to do a little thinking. The movie is unapologetically grim for most of its running time, which based on its plot, it should be. Life is not always beautiful, as this movie so subtlely shows. And subtle is the keyword in describing RH. Everything you need to know about the characters is in the film, but it is not always verbal or blatantly obvious. The movie is an emotional puzzle, and if you can't put together the pieces, you will dislike this film. I found putting the pieces together a refreshing challenge. In my opinion, the ending to RH is both a classic and a hair-puller. That is all I'll say.

I'm purchasing the DVD mainly for director Sydney Pollack's commentary and the deleted scenes. There are a couple of scenes in RANDOM HEARTS, the "car" one in particular, that I can't wait to hear his commentary on. I'm also intrigued to know what wound up on the cutting room floor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Random Hearts, October 13, 2003

By	unraveler "unraveler" (Nevada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Random Hearts (DVD)

I like this movie. I don't care much about what the critics said about it, nor about its failure to top box office records. I found this movie a psychologically intense drama, and I think acting was very good. Ford portrayed a clearly distraught and somewhat depressed and distracted man who lost his wife in plane crush, and who find out that his wife was cheating on him. He comes in contact with another "survivor," a Congresswoman who lost her husband in the same plane crush. A somewhat unlikely romance develops, while Ford's character continues to be haunted by his wife's betrayal. The subplot, involving a corrupt cop and murder, could be improved--it almost gets in the way of the main storyline. But if you can get beyond this, you will enjoy the movie.

If you are into non-stop action, special effects pictures, this one is not for you. But if you can enjoy a mature film with a real plot, you will do well to see "Random Hearts."

3.0 out of 5 stars Was this a contract-fulfillment movie?, May 11, 2000

By	Bill Lincicome (Aviano Air Base, Italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Random Hearts [VHS] (VHS Tape)

At least that's what I wondered during the first hour of watching this Harrison Ford movie. Nope, this is absolutely nothing like "Air Force One," "Patriot Games" and especially the Indiana Jones trilogy. Quick plot recap -- Ford is an Internal Affairs sergeant whose wife dies in a plane crash. He soon discovers his wife was on the plane with her lover -- the husband of a congresswoman. He obsessively tries to find out more about the affair, much to the distress (and eventually the attraction) of the congresswoman (Kristin Scott Thomas). I kept waiting for Ford to show some emotion other than looking confused, but then I realized he hit it right on the money. Put yourself in his (and her) shoes -- what would you want to know if your spouse died CHEATING on you? Would you want to know why or try to put it behind you? Charles S. Dutton is predictably good, but is absolutely wasted in his role as Ford's cop buddy as they investigate a crooked cop (Dennis Haysbert -- also wasted). Bottom line -- rent it first.
