Dwight is chasing crooked cop Jackie Boy, who is played with gleeful and gravelly-voiced creepiness by Benicio del Toro.

While co-stars Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro get to strut and spume, Watts has to implode. She does it with a heartrending delicacy and power. To watch her here is to see America grieving...
