The dialogue is never as clever nor as meaningful as its author obviously believed it to be and the overly dramatic score blatantly tells you what to feel (the score works much better apart from the film, as the music is actually quite good). The only thing going for it is that the hokum is being propelled by the likes of Harrison Ford and Christopher Plummer and these two actors can make most anything watchable.

This film had the potential to be brilliant but never really cut it.

love this film a special lady did us a copy of it and i really do miss her xxxx

An early performance for Harrison Ford.Not of one his best though.
