Another great Amy Irving performance

How many times have I watched something for a period of time before realizing that I'm looking at Amy Irving? This film was no exception. The woman is a chameleon, and though she certainly has been recognized for her work, I think she's underrated.The plot of this film is mildly interesting - a man convicted of murdering his wife makes parole and looks up his daughter, who helped put him away. His daughter begins to doubt her testimony.It would have been more intriguing to keep the plot on that level, to have the audience unsure throughout the film. Unfortunately, the plot disintegrates past a certain point and becomes a chase film, albeit through some magnificent scenery.Donald Sutherland is very good in what has become a familiar role for him. But Amy makes the movie.

Is Donald Sutherland A Nice Guy Here?

Donald Sutherland is paroled from prison after 22 years. He was sent there for killing his wife, on the evidence of his daughter, Amy Irving. Now he wants to go home, repair the misunderstanding with her -- for he calmly insists that he did not do it -- and help take care of his grandson. After a while, he succeeds..... and then, of course, the story begins.It's certainly a well cast movie, with Theodore Bikel and Graham Greene, and there's some startling photography of Glen Canyon in Utah. But it's another of the many, many movies that Sutherland made in this period, in which he played older men who you couldn't tell if they were nice guys or murderous creeps until, almost invariably, they turned out to be the latter. I grew tired of the trope and the casting early on, and a quarter of a century later, I see nothing here to change my mind.
