one of Harrison Ford's best I love Harrison Ford. This is a very suspenseful movie with a interesting plot. Harrison Ford finds out his wife was having an affair with Kristin Scott's husband. When both mates having the affair are killed in a plane crash Harrison Ford searches till he uncovers the truth. This movie is acted with great intensity and does have alot of detail. It is interesting to watch Harrison Ford's character and the truth he finds out. Great movie By movie and music lover
