Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

Pollack lingers over the details of the plane crash, and the dialogue is a series of morose retro howlers.

Almost everything that is wrong with the Hollywood system can be found here.

Jay Carr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

There's a vital spark missing from the core of the tepid Random Hearts.

Jeff Millar Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

I'd rather see the thriller in the trailer, about a plane crash, infidelity and scandal.

Philip Wuntch Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)

It's intermittently moving but ultimately bloodless, reflecting the lack of a strong screenplay.

Ford simply has no romantic presence.

Not written well enough.

Todd McCarthy Variety (Top Critic)

Laborious, remote and strangely uninvolving.

Looks more like a case of random minds.

Stephanie Zacharek Salon.com (Top Critic)

It's frustrating to come across a picture that at least offers a fresh angle on a tired old theme, then have to struggle to stay awake through it.

The film's underlying concept is so irredeemably screwy and far-fetched that no amount of fine work can hope to make it convincing.

In a perfect world, this assemblage of great talent wouldn't amount to such a colossal waste.

A failure of a romantic drama.

Geoff Andrew Time Out

This might have been tailor-made by director Pollack to ease Ford into more straightforwardly romantic territory.

A kind of thriller/drama/romance that has an interesting idea and doesn't know where to go with it.

It's a chick flick, and my chick fell asleep during it.

Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews

Kristin Scott Thomas's elegant femininity contrasts perfectly with Harrison Ford's bruised machismo in this mature romantic drama.

I am trying to remember what Random Hearts is about, but during the film I was transfixed by Harrison Ford's earring.

Sydney Pollack directs with a risk-free style that's borderline dull.

A nice showcase for Thomas's talent, and it's a slight departure for Ford, which makes it more enjoyable than watching him punch people out on an airplane.

It resembles the wreckage of the downed plane more than a tale of redemptive romance.

Wants to be less of a trite star vehicle and more of a serious, contemplative drama.
