Allie Fox isn't your ordinary Hollywood protagonist. It's tempting to pigeonhole the main character of "The Mosquito Coast" as a narrow-minded, arrogant, irritating jerk, but while the descriptions might be accurate, Allie's also remarkably charming, clever, and seems like a well-intentioned (if terrible) father. Throw in Harrison Ford's signature mix of on-screen crankiness and charisma, and you've got someone who isn't quite an anti-hero, but isn't a villain, either.
It'd be fair to...
