Subject: Disappointing story Author: Watsonl [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:48:21 04/04/02 Thu In reply to: Jane (ShardsofNarsil) 's message, "Interesting..." on 15:57:02 03/22/02 Fri I bought this video because my favourite store did not carry it. After seeing it, I realized why. Despite the lead actors of Liam Neeson and Andie McDowell, the story is a disappointment. Not a good mystery or thriller since the plot has no surprises; not a well enough developed romance between Neeson and McDowell. Viggo Mortensen plays McDowell's husband, who she thinks died in an airplane crash. She soon begins to have doubts and chases improbable clues which lead her to her not dead husband. The first part of the story has lots of photographs of Viggo and flashbacks but not much acting by him. When he finally does appear, he's looking pretty good in a beard and plays another sexy but sinful character, although he doesn't have much screen time. The movie shows some great scenes of Cairo and the pyramids but overall, it is not a good movie. One thing the film got right, however, was McDowell's line about Mortensen: "He's the best looking man I ever saw - and I've seen a few."
