a film for mature and educated audiences. i saw random hearts in an advance screening shortly before its north american release. this romantic drama was quite a treat. i am sure this story will not be everyone cup of tea and especially considering the film darkly downbeat premise. but the pic has some very uplifting strong points in its favor. all time box office draw harrison ford (star wars and raiders of the lost ark and the fugitive and air force one and patriot games) is at the top of his game as the harried and desperate internal affairs officer and dutch. ford very subdued and nuanced performance shows quite the range he can achieve with class and determination in bringing the audience into his world of loss and betrayal. this is the perfect complex role and very different type of film for harrison ford to grace the screen with between his action blockbusters. next year harrison ford returns to action and first for director robert zemeckis (forrest gump and back to the future) in his summer 2000 thriller and what lies beneath and and reportedly later in the year in the film adaptation of tom clancy the sum of all fears. fears will be harrison ford third outing as cia operative jack ryan. director sydney pollack (out of africa and the firm and tootsie) has a supporting role in this feature as a political advisor to scott thomas congresswoman. it a very sharp and energetic portrayal for pollack. not only is sydney pollack a gifted director and he is also one of the most believable and natural and charming actors around (see eyes wide shut as well). kristin scott thomas (the english patient and the horse whisperer) shows that you do not necessarily have to be eccentric or worldly to be considered sexy. this is one of her better films and and she gives a tremendously crafted and mellowed performance that works well opposite ford quiet man toughness. the subplots work wonderfully and especially the subplot involving ford character investigation into police corruption. look for a chilling and effective turn by heat actor and dennis haysbert and who plays detective george beaufort and the obstacle to overcome in dutch investigation into police corruption. the rest of the supporting cast is a wonderful delight. charles s. dutton (whose long overdue for a film leading role) goes to show that he is one of the best character actors around and and bonnie hunt and who i find extremely solid in this production and steals most of her scenes with that wonderful and charming smile as wendy judd. the technical side of pollack thriller is top notched. from dave grusin (pollack the firm) perfectly surreal feeling jazzy score and to philippe rousselot (a river runs through it) crisp photography and to the sharp editing that keeps the film feeling fresh and despite the film unfortunate downer premise. i highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good yarn of mystery and well paced plot and character driven stories and and romance all rolled into one. this is a terrific story about betrayal and forgiveness. it also features one of the most surprising and yet poignant and and certain to be controversial endings for a harrison ford film in recent times. random hearts is definitely one of the better films of the year.
