The greenback had been the strong, silent type for the past six years, making European vacations and Japanese electronics cheaper, while at the same time attracting foreign capital to the U.S. stock-and-bond markets by the trillions.

Russo does her best to convey the emotional excitement that this movie needs, and she does a good job of it so long as Brosnan isn't around...
