An annoying movie

At some point the lovely Joan Chen decided to direct as well and this was in fact her second directing effort. On paper, it did sound great to make a romantic feature starring Richard Gere and Winona Ryder so I was quite eager to check it out but I was eventually amazed about how underwhelming the whole thing was in fact. Indeed, I thought that Richard Gere and Winona Ryder made a good combination but, to be honest, I thought that their characters were just terribly irritating. On top of that, Richard Gere was just playing pretty bad in this movie. I mean, by now, I have seen more than 30 movies starring this guy and even though he did impress me a couple of times, his acting skills are usually rather disappointing and this movie is a perfect example. A part from that, the story was not really well written either. It's a pity though because the whole thing definitely had some potential. Anyway, it turned out to be a critical and commercial flop and Joan Chen would never direct another movie after this one. To conclude, it is basically an average flick and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
