i saw this movie when it be first release and do not really care for it . well and basically i be still in grade school and do not care for anything that wasn not load with action or comedy . i give this movie another try when it come on cinemax and record it on tape . it a very impressive film that both suspenseful and romantic and without be over the top . the only thing that really bug me be the soundtrack . my cousin upstairs buy the soundtrack and would listen to it constantly and so i be pretty much tire of hear every single one of those song . kevin costner give an engaging and charismatic performance . whitney houston be not a terrific actress and but she can pull of a dramatic line without make me burst into laughter . so i get ta give her a little bit of credit and be that this be her first performance . i have see much bad . and it nice to see whitney look very pretty and as oppose to now where she destroy herself with drug . and though the relationship be between a white man and a black woman and the film do not get preachy about it . i just think lawrence kasdan ( who write the script ) should have just make whitney character a singer and since we never see her act in this film . we never see clip of her film . all we see her do be sing . so why not make her a singer and have the climax at the grammy award . nevertheless and i really enjoy the film . it work well a both a love story and a thriller . and unlike most romantic film and the two character do not constantly jump into bed together and the sex be leave to the imagination . we actually feel some real chemistry and through dialogue and character development . my score represent 7 ( out of 10 ) .
