				"You know what I do 
				for a living? I get paid to notice stuff. I get paid to know 
				who's lying. I didn't have a clue." - 
				Dutch Van Den Broeck 
				Why watch this? Ford 
				and Scott Thomas really make this sad tale believable. 
				Plot Summary: 
				A detective, Dutch, and a congresswoman, Kay, meet each other when 
				their spouses are both killed in the same plane crash. In the 
				midst of their grief, they discover another devastating secret 
				that threatens to throw both their lives into chaos. He's the 
				cop who wants answers. She's the politician who wants to avoid 
				public embarrassment. Dad's Preview:  This story is about grief, betrayal, and 
				finding the truth in order to move past a tragic, and 
				heart-breaking, event. Ford, on occasion, could do romance 
				movies (Witness 
				(1985), 
				Working 
				Girl (1988)), especially when paired with a strong 
				female lead. It was wise to case the wonderful Kristin Scott 
				Thomas in this painful story. There are some very honest and raw 
				moments between the two, and that is the film's strength - how 
				they interact.
