Critic Reviews

Lawrence Toppman

(Ford and Thomas) give Random Hearts muscle when the story turns flabby, spine where it sags, wings where it threatens to stay earthbound.

Michael Wilmington

It's still strangely remote, only fitfully romantic, never really convincing. Read full review

Film.com John Hartl

Not a conventional love story, and perhaps it's not a love story at all. After more than two hours, you're left wondering what it is. Read full review

Film.com Peter Brunette

Starts off brilliantly and then gradually -- actually, not so gradually -- peters out. Read full review

TNT RoughCut Christopher Brandon

It risks the believability factor for anyone who's ever been cheated on or lost a loved one.

Richard Schickel

A grim and draggy romance in which even the clothes and sets are dismal. Read full review

Diana Abu-Jaber

Dissects the dicey question of fidelity with all the finesse of a Veg-O-Matic and leaves us with something closer to chopped liver than broken hearts. Read full review

Dommage pour Harrison Ford qui nous joue (bien) son numéro d'ours blessé, doimmage pour la délicieuse Kristin Scott Thomas toute en nuances et en retenue mais cette peu vraisemblable rencontre de cocus venant de perdre leur conjoint adultère (ils devraient monter un club) est un puits sans fond d'une nullité innommable.… Expand

Nothing much to say about Random Hearts, no action if very little at all. Basically just a film going through the motions of conversation after conversation. I didn't understand the storyline at all and Harrison Fords performance was the only good performance in the movie. Very long winded,Nothing much to say about Random Hearts, no action if very little at all. Basically just a film going through the motions of conversation after conversation.

Not great at all… Expand
