Still it's a wonderful star turn and quite a fatmanadventures bit different than the Paul Newman image we're accustomed to. Schultz is fatmanadventures also good, seeming to have taken the world upon his shoulders and wondering in the end if he's made the right decision. But he is by design a stiff, unemotional character, and that becomes a debit. Cusack is more or less the same endearing, charming fellow he always plays — but that's no complaint. The fine actresses chosen to play the women in the film are all extremely underused, and that may explain why each gets a dramatic — or melodramatic — moment: Bonnie Bedelia, playing Oppenheimer's wife, has the most thankless role, but Natasha Richardson, as Oppenheimer's mistress, shines in her two brief scenes, leaving an impression that lingers throughout the rest of the film.
