very disappointing film from a director who usually deliver . john schlesinger have previously impress audience with movie like midnight cowboy and marathon man and the falcon and the snowman . flash of brilliance here be never deliver consistently . highlight be far too infrequent and in a movie that never could decide what mode it be in . cast all just there and and nothing more included matthew modine and melanie griffith and michael keaton . ultimately predictable and a lot of potential be waste here . pacific height could have be a great legal thriller . friday and april 5 and 1991 knox district centre .
