Reviews for Hanover Street

Review - Hanover Street

I should have enjoyed this movie — I like Harrison Ford and Lesley-Anne Down — but their acting was rather subpar in this flick. The adultery angle made it impossible for me to root for their relationship, especially in light of the fact that the woman's husband was a good man who loved her. It could have been a good plot if the woman wasn't married and the two men were rivals for her affections — and if any of the actors had put forth any effort to sell their parts.
