I customarily go to see movies with low expectations. I was neither impressed nor disappointed. The ending was novel but came as a complete surprise. In the Sixth Sense the surprise ending was cleverly and subtlely forshadowed. This movie might have been intended to be a thriller, or mystery, or action hero flick but it turned out to be a character drama of some sort. Even then the characters were pretty shallowly portrayed. Help me out here. what did I miss?

Havana is a favorite of mine. Sure it's a slick Hollywood movie but I thought Redford and Olin were marvelous together and fit their roles perfectly. Doesn't it seem natural to find Redford in exotic Havana playing cards on the eve of the revolution? And doesn't Olin's intelligence , charm, and beauty fit her role ? The supporting cast were flawless and the intriguing plot stood on it's own merit. The sentimental ending was superb and the musical score which received an academy award nomination was brilliant. Better than mediocre.
