He sounds like a first-class jerk to me. This really has nothing to do with his relationship to Ryder, aside from the fact that his daughter helps him find Ryder a heart surgeon. OK, plot spoiler ahead - Ryder dies. Here's how I would have written the movie - Ryder lives, and Gere dies. At least the audience wouldn't be expecting that.
Sudden deaths are much better for movies.
I didn't like anything about this slow, dull movie. Inc. Legal Notices . Privacy Policy .
