  Ari and Cynthia do fine work with their faces and voices, but the whole package really isn't for me.

  If this was half as smart or cool as it thinks it is… eh, it’d still be pretty bad. Bonus star for somehow making Butler seem like an incompetent boob for no discernible reason.

  Yep, still a perfect film. Great character actors, a story that really moves, tech-craft that's just believable enough but still cinematic, a lilting Branford Marsalis score (oooohh, totally watching The Russia House next, speaking of), and a tonal balance that blends suspense and comedy into pure joy.
