Random Hearts (1999)
8/10
Mixed-Up Romance
15 November 2003
"Random Hearts" is Harrison Ford's only romantic movie. Of course, there is crime and adultery added to the movie. Mr. Ford's movies always have intrigue in it; romance is never enough.

His leading lady (Kristin Scott Thomas) was perfect in the role of the Congresswoman. This is Ms. Thomas's second best role since "The English Patient." Mr. Harrison and Ms. Thomas should work again.

The story is interesting: a policeman finds out that his wife (Susanna Thompson), who died in a plane crash, was having an affair with Congresswoman's husband, (Peter Coyote). There are a couple of weak points in the movie: there should have been more scenes with the spouses and less scenes on crime. However, it is still a good movie.

It is fun to watch the director (Sidney Pollack) play a political consultant. This was Mr. Pollack's second best role since "Tootsie. The ending of "Random Hearts" makes sense.
