A Very Compelling Drama with excellent performances, 5 May 2002
10/10
Author: rjtmfh

This a very compelling drama directed by Victor Nunez and produced by Richard Jordan who also starred in the movie along with Ed Harris and Blair Brown. And all three give excellent performances. And this came out right after Ed Harris did The Right Stuff and before he became one of today's major stars. I just wish this movie was more widely known than it is. It deserves more recognition than it got when it first came out in 1984 and when you have three great talents like Richard Jordan, Blair Brown and Ed Harris working together you know the movie will be top-notch. I have the book that the movie was based on and unlike other movies that are based on a book, this movie stays true to its original source. So I highly recommend this movie to anybody that appreciates fine acting and a compelling story.
