Jeff Bridges is a professor in Northern Virginia who begins to suspect that his new neighbors(Tim Robbins and Joan Cusack) could be terrorists. He begins to obsess over this as it seems to take over his entire life.

Bridges is as good as ever here, as is Tim Robbins. The suspense never lets up and the film never becomes confusing or boring.

The only part of this film that I didn't like much was the ending, which seemed like it was added on without much thought of whether it made sense.

Overall, a good thriller that most viewers should enjoy for the most part.

In one of her best performances, Jane Fonda plays a psychiatrist who is assigned to deal with a case involving a naive young nun(played by Meg Tilly) who allegedly gave birth to a baby and murdered it in the convent.

While slow and gimmicky at times, the acting and story are enough to keep the film worth watching.

Anne Bancroft also gives a very good performance as the Mother Superior at the convent who is highly skeptical of Fonda's character and profession.

Generally worthwhile.

This film is a different twist on the baseball comedy genre. Here, MLB player Tom Selleck is traded to a Japanese team. Predictably, there is culture clashes as the Japanese do things much different than the way its done in America. As always, there is also a love interest for Selleck in a Japanese commercial agent.

Corny jokes and generally predictable situations make this film a forgettable one. The one bright spot here is the accurate portrayal of the Japanese culture.

Unless you for some reason really love Tom Selleck and his style of humor or the game of baseball(which I do not), skip this film.
