As mentioned upthread, far from a perfect movie.. but Cruise’s best performance, a true tour de force…. the scene at the train station when he’s waiting for Kyra Sedgewick’s character for the first time since returning from war as a paralyzed veteran.. she scans the crowd and cant find him- until she looks down and sees him in his wheelchair……. Cruise does a magnificent job in that scene of acting only with his eyes,, an entire script’s worth of heartbreaking dialogue, in one look.. as Edie Brickell plays in the background…. one of my favorite scenes in cinematic history, it’s that good .

I saw it when it came out. I honestly don’t recall being a fan of it.
 
Loved this cheesy 80’s movie.

 
Never heard of it

I honestly never saw it and probably never will....

The only movie I can watch with Cruise in it, he's very good in this movie....mainly because he is believable and for once, doesn't overact his role....
