...picture's pedigree offers fair warning. Its director is Master Meanie David Fincher (Seven). The writers are John Brancato and Michael Ferris, who threw Sandra Bullock into The Net. And the star is Michael Douglas, who has built a healthy career (Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, Disclosure) playing bright, smuggish organization men for whom everything spins horribly out of whack...

Law-enforcement officials are divided on whether Joseph Brancato, 69, Vincent Aloi, 63, or Aloi's younger brother Benny, 51, will move up. Brancato served mainly as an errand boy for Persico, according to New York investigators, and seems to lack real clout. The Aloi brothers, on the other hand, appear to have the Mob smarts to run the family -- if they want to take the risk of doing...
