In all fairness, Winona did a pretty good job of acting. She was warm, intelligent and genuine. But then again, she usually portrays a warm, intelligent and genuine type.
But Richard Gere (who I also usually like) just didn't fit the part. It was like a square peg in a round hole. Either his acting wasn't up to par, or the chemistry just wasn't there.
Another problem was the directing. It seemed choppy at times, as if the director couldn't figure out how to get from one scene to the next.
Whatever the case, it's not a movie I'll watch again. It was okay, but barely good.
