Maybe I shouldn‘t be so hard on that scene. It‘s one of the few unpredictable moments in the movie. The whole progression of the romance between the skipâ€" tracer and the woman has been seen many, many times before, and Eastwood and Peters do not seem to feel, or express, a convincing bond. The whole life and background of the Peters character is so artificial and manufactured, indeed, that it would be amazing if we did feel ghemistry: This isn‘t a real woman, so how can she have real feelings? There‘s another problem, and that‘s the idiotic behavior of roost of the characters in the film. How can we take a thriller scene seriously when the characters don‘t? Observe, for example, a crucial moment when Eastwood gets the drop on the leader of the rightâ€"wing army and puts him and Peters in a car. "I‘ll drop you off a mile from the camp," he says â€" guaranteeing their getaway. But then what does he do? Drops him off about 25 yards down the road, putting himself back in danger Eye Examinations Arranged {or bring in your own prescription) This plot is sort of a cross between "Midnight Run," with Robert DeNiro as a bondsman becoming the friend of his quarry, and "Betrayed," with Debra Winger as an undercover agent who falls in love with a white supremacist.
