I saw this movie when it first came out... and it has stuck with me all of these years!!! River Phoenix just getting his feet wet... and Harrison at his most ...

I am disgusted at editorial reviews of this film that claim Allie Fox to be eccentric, mad and obsessive- do not be fooled by the rambling of these idiots. ...

by Mark J. Sieber on January 10, 2004
I'm a huge fan of both the novel and the film. Yes, the novel goes into more depth and the lead character, played by Harrison Ford on his best performance, is even more of a lunatic in it. This is a gorgeous film that has no easy answers and no cookie ...
