The movie itself is pretty lightweight and a little dated. Could have easily been a Natalie Wood vehicle in the 50's, with Troy Donahue and John Saxon as the guys.
However, we do get a small taste of what Russell Crowe will be bringing to the screen. A nice mixture of emotional intensity and good looks and more than a little talent.
His current significant other, Danielle Spencer, is also very good. Very understated when she should be but quite hysterical, also when she should be.
Can't say there were any surprises. Plot is very basic. Boy and girl are happy together. He has a resentment of his father who died a hero. She is being kept under lock & key in some ways as well. Enter her ex-boyfriend. Throw in some car races, and like I said, where's Natalie?
I don't want to sound like its not enjoyable, but if it hadn't been for Russell, I might never have taken a look.
