...Army doctor, is the only person with the expertise, the guts and, dammit, the nobility to solve this apocalyptic poser. Screenwriters Laurence Dworet and Robert Roy Pool have given him a requisition brainy-dishy ex-wife (Rene Russo), an agitated boss (Morgan Freeman), a helpful colleague (Kevin Spacey, who is very good) and plucky Major Salt to steer Sam through an unlikely airplane battle at the climax.

Next he encourages a spot of highly improbable wife swapping. Can violent crimes -- and false accusations leveled at poor, increasingly bedeviled Richard -- be far behind...
