Summary: ???
Review: I thought something, some kind of big secret, a "shock" would be discovered, of course more than the affair, or "the affair" is just for cover something...until "the end", so I felt lost and empty after seeing this movie. One is a cop, another is a congressman, their wife and husband died together in this horrible way, and they are always so serious...and this film is so serious and cold...it is a thrill style, isn't it? I understand "the affair" is a serious object to the two alive people, but by this way??? It is not a bad movie, but I couldn't feel satisfied after the director did his job like this. He's given us some wrong implication. I think we should add something into this movie, let the alive people find out some truth we normal people really call "truth", then the movie will be perfect. 2.5 stars actually.

Summary: I'm falling asleep just thinking about it
Review: This was possibly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I don't mind if this review is not helpful to you, I just needed to get that off my chest. Don't see this if you have a pulse.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good film.
Review: I likde this film. It had a different pace and was told differently from most of Hollywood's film which are made nowadays- and that is a good thing. Well acted, especially by Harrison Ford -this was a real surprise to me. This movie is not pretencious and luckily doesnt fall in too many cliches. Cute film....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: harrison ford
Review: harrison ford can play any kind of character and still be good at it and in this film he did just that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great film and excellent performances by Ford and KST
Review: A really great film with a very complicated and intense storyline. I agree that this film is not meant for all types of audiences, as it has a very mature theme and only some people will actually get the story.

Great performances from Harrison Ford as he displays a series of grief stricken scenes very different from his usual characters he has portrayed before. Kristin Scott Thomas is brilliant as always in her performance as an ambitious congresswoman, yet trying to appear unmoved and cold as she learns of her husband's death and infidelity. Scott Thomas is perfectly cast for this role and gives the film just the right amount of emotion in each scene she appears. She literally steals the scene with her talent and her beauty. If you can handle the subject matter, and you enjoy Ford and Scott Thomas's acting, then it will be an excellent movie to watch.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Harrison Ford's lack of range ruins another movie
Review: Two things are required to give this movie a chance at being worth while, if not excellent. The first is accepting the movie's premise that the fact that one's spouse died while being unfaithful is potentially obsessing and worthy of cinematic exploration.

The second is that Harrison Ford needs to be replaced in the leading role. He simply does not have the acting skills or emotional range to make the cuckolded husband credible or sympathetic. I'm not suggesting that this would have been a great movie had Al Pacino or Nick Nolte or (most interestingly) Daniel Day Lewis played Ford's part. I'm saying that it might have had a chance. In his numerous films to date Ford has demonstrated that he is capable two facial expressions: confusion and surprise, which he occasionally combines in to a third: looking dumb. These three, which were quite sufficient for 'Star Wars', 'Indiana Jones' and even 'Patriot Games', are not sufficient for a part that if it is work at all, must be played with great subtlety and precision.

Kristin Scott Thomas puts in her usual highly professional, believable, and potentially moving performance, and at least half-a-dozen of the bit and supporting players are excellent, but they can't rescue this movie from the deadening effect of Ford's incompetence. The mystery is how does he keep getting cast is parts that are so clearly beyond him.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Harrison Ford downfall...
Review: I can never believe such a successful actor could fail this way!

This movie could be one of the worst movies I have ever seen in the Cinema history... it has a meaningless story, bad acting, and is so stupid!

If you want to say a star fall so bad, watch this movie... but do not ever consider buying it, or you'll be sorry!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: MADE ME WISH I HAD BEEN IN THE PLANE THAT WENT DOWN
Review: This is not a movie review. If I were to call this a movie review, that would imply that Random Hearts could be classified as a movie. The fact that it is comprised of images on celluloid is the only thing that makes this heinous travesty even remotely resemble a movie.

Early in the, uhh, 'movie', a plane goes down in flames. God, how I envied those lucky passengers! They didn't have to endure Harrison Ford's nutty mumblings and inexplicable behavior. They didn't have to sit through endless scenes where ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of interest happens, and NOTHING of interest is said. They weren't subjected to a stunningly inane sub-plot that never goes anywhere.

However, like the passengers on that plane, I was scared - not scared for my life, but, scared that I might one day, unknowingly, sit through another Sydney Pollack clunker. I pray it doesn't happen again. I vow, as God is my witness, from this day forward, to never 'just pick something up' at the video store. Heed my warning. Be careful what you rent. You could, like I have, lose the will to live.

Don't worry, though. Slowly, gradually, and with therapy, I am mending the broken spirit which i acquired that fateful night when I watched Random Hearts. Sadly though, I still have nightmares about the insanely tedious and boring two and a half hours I wasted.

To close, here are my top 5 suggestions for activities to do, other than watching Random Hearts: 5. Step on a land mine. 4. Call up the IRS and ask to be audited. 3. Be beaten senseless by an angry mob. 2. Repeatedly slap yourself until both your hand and face are numb. 1. Have someone shove a porcupine up somewhere very private on your body (backwards)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Boring
Review: The former mates of the couples are barely introduced before they're killed off so we feel nothing for them or about them. There's alot of dialoge and very little action. The subplot about a corrupt cop is distracting and the only thing in this movie thats random. I turned it off with 47 min left as the movie is too long and boring. I dont know why it got a pg 13 rating because there's no nudity or profanity.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Random Hearts
Review: Reading the video box of Random Hearts, I was unwitingly lured into believing it was a mildly interesting intrigue thriller. I could not have been more wrong - in fact, it was possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen. Harrison Ford looked like a tired and dirty old man, Kristin Scott-Thomas was, well, Kristin-Scott Thomas, and there were times when the dialogue was so nauseatingly I struggled to sit through it. It was a tedious, useless and deeply disappointing film, and I strongly warn anyone who is a about to make the same mistake I did.
