1049.0. "Up Close and Personal" by TROOA::trp669.tro.dec.com::Chris (running on empty) Thu Mar 14 1996 15:05

Saw this movie last night and it was about what I expected.  The reviews 
haven't been great but I figured that, with Robert Redford and Michelle 
Pfeiffer involved, it would be decent enough.  The story is supposed to be 
loosely based on the Jessica Savitch (sp?) story, but I don't know enough 
about her to confirm that or not.  The two actors shared a great chemistry 
and Robert Redford is still very appealing.  There is a section of the 
movie that deals with a prison riot which I thought was very well done.  
The ending was a bit of a let-down - I could see it coming a mile away.
All in all... fairly enjoyable but nothing outstanding.

    Loved this movie!  Redford and Pfeiffer were super together.  Note: 
    Bring tissues.

Weak, slow, PREDICTABLE, and I saw NO chemistry between 
Warren (Redford) and Tally (Pfieffer) (that is, between either the actors
or their characters).
