Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston fall in love, she trilling all the while, amid a highly charged atmosphere of jealousy and death threats in this hugely entertaining load of old baloney. Director Mick Jackson created a wildly successful film, much to several critics' snooty chagrin, by teaming two megastars with a daft but jaunty script, loud rock soundtrack and a few well-staged exciting moments. Costner is a trifle stern, but Houston makes a very creditable acting debut, and the result is great fun.

All Time Classic!!!!!
Brilliant film.
Good story and Whitney Houston was surisingly good!
Superb sound track makes a very good film really great. It is not just a collection of songs that happen to overlay the film but they form a narration of the events that we see portrayed in the film as well as being an integral part of the story line.
I have to confess to being a Kevin Costner fan so this was right up my street.
Watch, watch and watch again. -

People frequently dismiss this film but it's so powerful and I am sure that everyone who watches it inside wants to be in that story.
