Rating: Summary: Harrison rules Review: Slow paced obvious dreary tripe. Kristin Scott Thomas is all that keeps it going and she is gorgeous, but her accent needs work. Harrison rules too. It's just a dull story. Definitely worth it just for the leads..
Rating: Summary: Something is missing... Review: The premise is great, it starts off with a lot to offer and great potential. The movie never seemed to get off the ground. There are parts that seem to be missing (maybe they are on the editing room floor) and many issues left unfinished. It also seemed like they just suddenly decided to end the movie. It was like the last 30 minutes was rushed. It just felt like something was missing and there needed to be more..... Both Kristen Scott Thomas and Harrison Ford are great in this movie. Bonnie Hunt also steps away from her usual comedic performances to make a great dramatic performance. Worth renting, but not one to add to the video collection.
Rating: Summary: Random Hearts is ok, but mainly works because of Ford Review: Random Hearts centers around the story of two people who lose their spouses on a plane crash. Ford is a Washington DC cop who investigates the tradgey because he lost his wife in the crash. He finds another vivtim of loss(Kristin Scott Thomas). Together they find out that Ford's wife and Thomas' husband were on that plane together and they were having an affair. It has an intriging plot but it really seems to dry out after the first 45 minutes or so. The only reason I saw this was because Harrison Ford. Without him the film would bomb.
Rating: Summary: Ford is out of character and that is what makes this movie! Review: Would you have liked to see John Wayne cry in a movie? No. It would be so out of place that you would say he was mis-casted in the role. That is what happened to Harrison Ford. Many people say his acting was terrible, but what I want you to know is that his acting is exactly how one would "act" if they were in his place. Very draining movie, but well worth the watch.

Rating: Summary: so dull it's painful Review: I was not expecting much when i went to see this movie but it turned out to be so dull and lifeless I found my self wanting to walk out of the theater. The characters are a bore and the plot drags on slowly throughout the entire film. Ford and the main actress exhibit the same colorless expresions and acting throughout.
Rating: Summary: Very Dull and Boring Movie Review: I rented this video after I saw a trailor of this movie which seemed interesting. But, the movie is very boring. It doesn't have a plot to begin with. The direction and screen play was bad. I was just waiting for the flashback of the other couple (the central charactors for the rest of the story) which never happened. Instead the script steers away to love between the main artist(its really random). It is sick. Stay away from this.
Rating: Summary: I am not particularly critical, but... Review: This movie is really terrible. At its heart, Random Hearts lacks a coherent story. Sydney Pollack has tried (with miserble results, I might add) to overlap Ford and Thomas's sordid love affair with her campaign and (even more un-interestingly) an Internal Affairs investigation that Ford is embroiled in. The peripherals are negligible and the core is rotten. On the whole, a blemish on Ford's fine career. Definitely, two thumbs down!
Rating: Summary: Don't Bother Review: Whoever talked Harrison Ford into doing this movie did him a great disservice. He actually has only one scene and one look in the entire movie; haunted. He just has to keep doing the same scene over and over. We kept waiting for a plot to unfold but it never did and the wait was interminable. This was a real stinker.
Rating: Summary: An Under-appreciate Film. Review: Harrison Ford and Kirstin Scott Thomas Gives Strong Performances in this film, about two differant people fall in love after their love one died in a plane crash, the problem was Ford Wife and Scott Thomas Husband might have an affair.Is a Good Thing the tralier, didn`t say too much about the film, because it has a Sub-Plot, we didn`t see in the Tralier, that good. Director Sydney Pollack give himself a Small Role in this movie, also he had a supporting role in Eyes Wide Shut. Also the Director lost his son in a plane crash, a couple of years ago and almost didn`t direct the film. DVD includes Audio Commentary and Deleted Scenes, d`ont miss this film. Grade:A-
Rating: Summary: Yawn! Review: This movie looked good; good soundtrack, the actors appeared mismatched... both were dry and boring...I could understand why their partners had affairs...i wish we could have spent time getting to know the passion between the deceased partners first, before they were killed off... they seemed more interesting. I like Harrison in action movies, because he is more believable. Hollywood is always searching for that "Grace Kelly" cool in leading women.Ms. Scott-Thomas was a bit too cool to the point of ice....And men like that?
