An average movie

Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino, I have a huge weak spot for those two actors and it is a real shame that both their careers are in pretty bad shape nowadays. I mean, they still make movies but nothing really noteworthy. Anyway, back then, when they were still young and on the A list, they made this flick together and I thought it was actually not bad at all. The point is that, of course, the whole thing is way too over-sentimental and, instead of some regular folks, you have those two gorgeous people who obviously will fall in love in each other. Still, you don’t see much movies dealing with blindness and I thought they treated the subject fairly well. Also, you can say whatever you want about Val Kilmer but when the guy gets the right material, he can deliver some pretty solid performances and it was definitely the case here. Also, like any Hollywood picture, since there is one character with a disease or a handicap, of course, they will try to fix him which was also rather annoying but, I must admit it, it was quite intriguing to behold a formerly blind man going through life with a new ability to see resulting in many psychological trouble. To conclude, even though it is nothing great, it remains a rather decent romantic drama and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
