Editorial Review:

Get shot in the head and become a better person. This 1991 Mike Nichols (Wolf) film stars Harrison Ford as a big-shot cold-hearted lawyer who gets a bullet in his brain during a holdup. The film de-emphasizes the traumas of recovery to focus on the title character's personality change after the fact. The canny Ford gets to work from his full, familiar palette of arrogance to boyishness, and even builds Henry from top to bottom after the wounded fellow awakens with no memory. But this is a slow and unremarkable film from Nichols, its sentimentality eclipsing all else, most of all profound insight. --Tom Keogh

5 out of 5 stars Harrison and Annette..........2007-06-16

...shine in this movie! If you don't love it, there is something wrong with you! Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT LITTLE KNOWN FILM ONE OF FORDS BEST!.......2007-04-08

This a really good film that has not received it's due. Ford plays a very successful work-aholic lawyer that gets dealt a pretty bad hand.....at least so it would seem at first. This is not to be missed!

4 out of 5 stars Very good message.......2007-03-14

A realistic and heart warming story of a couple and their daughter who go through a difficult trial. Coming out knowing the true value of love and life as it should be.

5 out of 5 stars Harrison Ford fans will love this movie........2007-01-12

A wonderful story line and a rare opportunity to see Harrison Ford in a completely different character than usual. Great acting by all, a story about life the way it really is, and a happy ending!

4 out of 5 stars Much better than its reputation, if you have a heart..........2006-10-04

I recall most critics trashing this film 15 years ago when it was new. I heard an especially vicious critique on NPR, of all places. Then I saw it, and liked it very much. Of course it is sentimental and manipulative, but all films are manipulative. I liked Harrison's work, and I even liked Annette Bening, which does not always happen for me. Most of us wonder whether, if we suffered a serious brain injury or a spinal cord break, if we would survive, and cope. This film shows one fictional guy facing that crisis, and becoming a better man for having lost some of his mental toughness and job skills. Those who sneer at this touching film perhaps have already lost the humane sense that Harrison Ford's character acquires through suffering.
