I went to see this preview because of the cast, and most of the movies coming out now a days are for children or for people with no sense of what a good movie is. I was certainly not disappointed in the acting job done by Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, and Tom Cruise. Cruise was

a total surprise with the best acting job I have seen him do. The story was very involved, constantly switch to one of the three stories that were being told. I was impressed with Todd Hayes performance as the college student shooting barbs at his professor played by Robert Redford. I think this young man has a future in movies. It is a short movie and I was surprised when on the screen came "Directed by Robert Redford".If you like good acting go see this one.

Kevin Costner runs hot and cold with his movies. This one is certainly one of his cold ones. He is capable of doing very good movies, like Dances with Wolves and then turns around and stars in Waterworld which in my opinion was a loser. I looked forward to seeing this movie, and 15 minutes into it I was so lost I never recovered. The acting was pretty good, but the story has so many ins and out you could not keep track. I think the performance by Demi Moore was a waste of talent as well as William Hurt playing Mr. Brooks alter ego. When the movie ended suddenly, I still could not figure who killed who and what the whole story was about. This is another on to put on your DO NOT SEE list. Save your money.

After seeing this movie my summary is that it is well acted, but the story sucks. Jane Fonda gave an excellent performance and I know her father Henry Fonda would not have liked the story. It is about a spoiled brat who spend part of the summer with her grandmother played by Jane Fonda. The story just drags on and in my opinion it has sex as the attention getting story line. What a change from the writers of year ago when they had the ability to write a good, interesting story with a solid subject line. My recommendation would be to pass this by and watch Fonda in great stories like On Golden Pond, where it was an excellent performance and a great story. Skip this one and save your money.
