nothing could be more appeal than the idea of a good love story feature kristin scott thomas and harrison ford . the cool and refine english beauty and the warm blood american male what could possibly be more lovely . well and this be not that movie . right away they ruin it by cast kristin scott thomas a an american congresswoman . that like cast hugh grant a babe ruth . or colin firth a al capone . kristin scott thomas be exactly the sort of woman you do not picture shake hand with greasy ex junky in filthy slum and or squeeze into smelly crowds and kiss baby . she would have be far well cast a the english bear widow of an aristocratic senator and the kind who belong to the hunt club and go to flower show but have no idea how the other half life . then there harrison ford a a regular guy cop . certainly he tough enough for the role . but the idea that he go to romance this stunning high society beauty be a bit hard to swallow . why couldn not he have be and say and a tough but wealthy reform politician with blue collar root who inherit kristin late husband senate seat . the two of them be initially quite cool to each other and but for duty sake kristin be cordial to him and and he in return start show her some of the raw side of life thing her husband shelter her from . her political awakening coincides with the jolt passion of a new and more blue collar and lover one who appreciate her polish and refinement far more than her aristocratic husband . now that a love story . instead of that and though and you get a blank and meaningless thriller where the action drag and nothing happens . well and there be one ghetto style drive by scene where harrison almost get kill and but it so abrupt and unexplained it really more like welcome comic relief . the sky be always gray in this movie and and our refined and lovely kristin always look a little chilled . when she suppose to be dream of passion and she look more like she dream of a wool blanket and a cup of tea . she also look a bit sleepy most of the time and like she would really rather be nap in the bed than screw harrison ford . all thing consider and i would say you can not blame her .
