Thirty years ago, no-nonsense West Texas vending machine supplier Arlis's (Dennis Quaid) father, Roy (James Caan), used him as a decoy to get into the home of a family--all of whom Roy then murdered, except for a baby girl. Years later, when lonesome, detached Arlis encounters Kay (Meg Ryan), the same baby girl, they share an instant bond and fall in love. But when a teenage con artist (Gwynyth Paltrow in her first feature role) enters their world, they are unaware that she will lead them to the murderous man who brought them together. Romance is effectively married to violent drama in the second effort from writer/director Steve Kloves (THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS). [More]

the whole movie rests on the interaction of the two characters and the appeal of the stars who embody them

A downbeat, elegiac mood piece and character study about angry, damaged people whose lives are as desolate as the dusty West Texas landscape they inhabit.

A nice, heavy movie, if a bit depressing.

The film starts better than you've heard, but soon gets worse than you predicted.

The best film of 1993. Seriously. Great breakthrough performance by Gwyneth Paltrow also.

Dry and a bit slow, but there are a few rewards to be found.

There are few pictures more deserving of critical revisionism.
