When you look at this movie, it’s hard not to judge this movie based on the difference of age between Harrison Ford and Anne Heche. It’s a good movie, maybe not the best romantic movie I’ve seem, but it’s not a bad one either.
The two major characters are trap in an island with each other and fall in love, filled with advantures that bonds them even closer. I like the fact where the more they learn about each other, the more they grow closer. While the two both has previous engagement to other partners, they bonded through out life and death situation. I guess I wish they could find actors that’s closer in age. It make me think about how most movies would show older man with younger woman but never the other way around.
It’s hard to review a movie without giving too much of it away. There are parts of the movie where it seems a little too much, like where Anne Heche’s boyfriend/finacee in the movie just have to sleep with Harrison Ford’s woman ’’friend’’ while the two character busy fighting for their lives on the island. You know that’s the director’s way to use that to make the Ford and Heche relationship seems less immoral and unethical. Somehow that didn’t seem to be working for me, I’ll much rather Anne Heche decide to follow her heart and be with the one she want to be with instead of using her boyfriend/finacee’s ’’mistake’’ as an excuse to run to Harrison Ford.
Not bad to watch it at home with your other half.
