Gere's best role
28 October 2000
Probably the best role I have seen Richard Gere play. I like it when he is out of the romantic comedy setting yet still working his pervasive (and in this case perversive) charm. The movie was tense and tight and held my interest to the end (which I expected to be more dramatic). I think the only failing of the film was not developing the Laurie Metcalf role. I wanted more dynamic between her and the Andy Garcia character. Her domestic or personal situation was not gone into at all. She was a cool, reserved, if somewhat mysterious, presence. I like how they show the similarities between Garcia's character and Gere's character. In fact the more I think about it the more I like this film. Give it a 8.
