Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

dakjets This film is a good example of Harrison Ford's depth and versatility as an actor. It is easy to forget that he can do excellent dramatic roles as well, and serve not only as action hero. Ford plays the cynical and scheming lawyer Henry. Unsympathetic is only the first name. Henry shows little emotion, beyond enjoying his great career as a lawyer, we get the impression is all that matters. But it happens a serious incident. And life is turned upside down for him. The incident forcing Henry to look at life anew, and determine which values that really matter to him. Harrison Ford portrays this excellent and he conveys the change that Henry undergoes in a good, convincing way. A touching, well-acted, entertaining film.

chcarr-44-976134 This is possibly the worst movie about traumatic brain injury (TBI) ever made. As a former speech therapist who worked with children and adults recovering from TBI I was appalled at the lack of apparent research in preparation for the film. Nichols and Ford were so far off the mark it was embarrassingly silly. Example: For person recovering language it's a bad idea to swamp them with so much language that all words become a meaningless string of sounds. It's the same as dropping a non-swimmer in the ocean knowing all that water is going to teach him to swim. The physical therapist was probably the worst and any self respecting speech therapist would've told him to be quiet. The plot is simple predictable and unmoving.why this director would take these actors and toss them into a dramatic ocean and expect them to swim without direction is as silly as their depiction of recovering from TBI.

Dalbert Pringle Meet Henry Turner - Mega-wealthy, high-powered, super-successful, Manhattan corporate-lawyer. Not only is Henry despicable, ruthless, dishonest and corrupt in his profession (this makes for an ideal lawyer, I hear), but he also operates in the same mean and rotten way towards his family and friends, too.One fine day, Henry, in his usual mode of miserable arrogance, inadvertently steps into the midst of a robbery that's taking place at some scuzzy, run-down Mini-Mart. (Like, what's Henry doing in this area of town, anyways?) Henry is promptly shot "bulls-eye" (right smack dab) in the exact goddamn middle of the forehead by some two-bit crook with the precision aim of a real marksman.Unfortunately, this bullet to the brain doesn't kill Henry. Instead, after a miraculous recovery (in record time, no less) Henry is transformed, like an angel, into Mr. Sugar-And-Spice-And-Everything-Nice.This character turn-about has got to be one of the phoniest and most sickening change-of-heart scenarios that I've ever witnessed. Like - OK - I could easily understand it if the bullet to the head had lobotomized Henry, and then turned him into a human vegetable, or something. But, it didn't. What it did was completely change his overall personality. It was a 180 degree turn around.I really wonder what medical science would have to say about this sort of movie-nonsense?

George Aar Being a hardcore Harrison Ford fan I thought this would be - at least - an entertaining movie. Harrison Ford is never in a bad movie, right? Sadly, no. Wrong.The main issue I have with this show is the believability factor. There is none. Why would a cold-blooded, mercenary law firm keep Henry on the payroll at all? He's obviously never going to be a mover and shaker again, as he once was. Why don't they just give him a nice severance package and move on? And how come Henry - who's been seriously brain-damaged - can figure out that his firm cheated on folks? Why would his wife keep old love letters from a long dead affair? Where did their money come from to keep on with their lavish lifestyle? And where was that money going to come from after Henry quit the law? And how did Henry recover so quickly - learning to read in a matter of a few minutes? It's all just a feel-good, chick-flick, fairytale for adults.I expected much more from such a talented cast and crew...
