A very bizarre film, Random Hearts begins as a mystery story, solves the mystery in the first 40 minutes, then just hangs around with the surviving characters as they yawn and stretch. Harrison Ford plays Dutch Van Den Broeck, a policeman whose one facial expression luckily matches the one that Ford has been doing for the last 20 years. Kristin Scott Thomas plays a Republican congresswoman who acts like a self-absorbed, dreamy 13-year-old. Kind of like Newt Gingrich or Bob Dornan, if they had perfect cheekbones and looked good in sweaters. The congresswoman and the cop find each other when their respective spouses are killed under mysterious circumstances. Of course, this is just the sort of thing to bring out the romantic in someone, and love ensues. And ensues and ensues and ensues.
