"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.
