i have high hope for this film and even though i have not read the book . richard gere and diane lane together should be good already . but the film do not deliver on the promise . i keep wait for more depth to the character and there wasn not . i have no problem with the fact that it only take a weekend for them to fall in love . that can happen . but we never really get to know the character . i would have like more focus on them . the film remind me in place of bridge of madison county and and that film be far good . i really felt for the character in that film and and there be a chemistry ( much more passion ) between clint eastwood and meryl streep that there wasn not between gere and lane . each of them be very good actor in his or her own right . simply not the right movie for them together .
