Random Hearts

Better than most movies with a similar story line. I would watch it again and I can't say that about many films.... Full review

Excellent film that looks at how we deal with tragedy, the things we learn about those who've died and how we cope when we cannot make our last peace.... Full review

Great actors, great story, not an action movie actually, a kind of psychological drama. Seen it several times on DVD with pleasure.... Full review

Nothing could be more appealing than the idea of a good love story featuring Kristin Scott Thomas and Harrison Ford. The cool, refined English beauty and the warm-blooded American male -- what could possibly be more lovely? Well, this is not... Full review

Some movies fall short of expectations, well that would be an upgrade for this film. It offered nothing, plodded along like a molesk, dialogue written by a depressed mentally ill 11 yr old girl, script so full of holes it looks... Full review

Random Hearts snuck up on me. Criticized for the implausibility of a) the premise and b) the pairing of an IA cop and a Congresswoman, as well as for its slowness, the film felt just fine to me , and even... Full review

When "Random Hearts" is good, it really is exceptional and unusually intelligent for a studio picture, but when it is mediocre (that would be the whole last 70 minutes, save for the final scene), it makes you downright frustrated. The basic premise of "Random Hearts" should have been merely a jumping-off point to develop an engrossing, highly-charged drama about the issues of infidelity, death, and human relationships, and it honestly couldn't have been better in its opening sections. ...

But "Random Hearts" is a curious case because it's not actually about love but rather the choosing, losing and abusing of love.
