Review

In this meandering drama set in the Vancouver area, director Mark Rydell (On Golden Pond) aims for deep and thought-provoking, but ends up with a rather sluggish melodrama which only occasionally is able to lift itself up from its structural chains and address the real-life issues on hand with any kind of sincerity. The writing has a day-time soap vibe, even if the actors are among the Hollywood A-list and give it their best shot. Richard Gere looks marvellous and is well cast. His Vincent Eastman could have been fine in another movie. But Sharon Stone is uncomfortable to watch in her atypical part, and Lolita Davidovich, who finds the right note for her role, is edited to look like a potential bad guy. The filmmakers obviously were clutching at straws to give the movie an edge which it severely lacks, except for in contrived plot devices. James Newton Howard provided the uninspiring score. It was Rydell's penultimate film.
