What a truly great film. I wasn't expecting to like this one as much as I did. The acting is terrific, the story is solid, and there is just the right balance of tension and ease. Harrison Ford is wonderful in this role--I wish he had/will have more opportunities to show his skills as an emotional actor. Plus...Viggo Mortensen's first film role!? He doesn't say anything, but it's fun to see him in the background.
