The writer and director of 'Breaking Away' were reunited to make this laconic romantic thriller shot in New York at the old Astoria Studios. (A scene with a motorbike reminds you it's by the guy who directed 'Bullitt')
A square-jawed Sigourney Weaver adds yet another string to her bow as a Jewish TV personality who attracts the attention of William Hurt; not obvious casting as a bespectacled janitor who has issues with his father and by his own admission good with animals and kids but as he himself ruefully admits not "the rest of the world'.
James Woods plays his usual psycho, distinguished stage actress Irene Worth plays Weaver's mother, and a remarkably young Morgan Freeman plays a cop with the easily remembered name "Lt. Black".
