Capsule Review: This film is relentlessly depressing for a romance. While watching it, you know that, even if the characters end the film together, their relationship just isn’t going to last. And yet, the film never has enough depth to make it a compelling study of obsession, or passion on the rebound. Yet another romantic misfire from Harrison Ford.
