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.

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.

Sentimental and boring character study as Harrison Ford suffers brain trauma and changes from one movie character stereotype into another movie character stereotype. Forgettable and pointless mush.

Critic Reviews
an intriguing mess
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. Full Review
Perhaps Ford's best work, certainly his most challenging role.
Soap opera, to be sure, but reasonably entertaining
Strong Harrison Ford drama.
Depicts the spiritual transformation of an aggressive, successful, and amoral New York lawyer into a person who values love, play, intimacy, tenderness, and compassion. Full Review
Phoney sentimental rubbish
