I liked the idea that Jennifer was a "tough cop" in the sense that she sat around with the male cops after work and talked tough like the guys. And she came from a tough-rough background and was the black sheep of the family for doing the right thing and turning in her father for beating her mother. Because of her family problems she was a loner and when the Jim Caviezel character appears on the scene all her loneliness and sensitivity to pain and problems sees that the Jim Caviezel character is the most lost soul on the planet. I felt so much sympathy for this character, because of the death of his wife and son he basically lost his memory and life, but seeing Lopez starts to bring him back to life. They are just two wounded souls, and Lopez was able to help Caviezel remember the accident that killed his wife and son, and Caviezel was able to help Lopez see that she had to let go of trying to get back into a family that didn't want her. I also enjoyed the good supporting actors of Shirley Knight, Vic Argo, and Sonia Braga as family members of both Lopez/Caviezel that help explain their stories. This is definitely not a guy's flick as film deals with psychological problems such as guilt, fear, loneliness which women seem to appreciate more than men. |
