What if Ford starred in "The Shining" instead of Jack Nicholson? This under-appreciated effort from "Witness" director Peter Weir is probably the closest we’ll ever get to having that question answered. Ford is mesmerizing as a father who relocates his family to an idyllic Central American paradise and rapidly loses his mind.
"The Mosquito Coast" didn’t exactly blow away critics at the time, but it’s a film with performances that have stood the test of time.
