...only logical that the plot will eventually climax in a hunt through Chance's native swamps. What's unexpected is that Wilfrid Brimley will be in the marshes fighting along side Van Damme as Chance's uncle.

Unfortunately, the climax and finale of the piece did not expand the whole but only continued it in predictable progression. The horns seemed to disappear by the end of their solos, and the bells did not really blend into the full landscape of the climax.

...very un-Japanese, the climax of an election week that had tipped the natural order of things upside down. The arrogant old conservatives of the L.D.P. lost the majority they had used to run the government unchallenged -- and almost unsupervised -- for 38 years. At the same time, the permanent and futile opposition, the Marxist-oriented Social Democrats, lost almost half their seats and slid further toward irrelevance.
