...seen one of them transport a large object from point A to point B, you've pretty much seen them all. This predictability is exactly the opposite of director Jan de Bont's last film, Speed, in which you could never guess what would happen when Sandra Bullock wheeled her bus around a corner...
...TIME TO KILL (July 12). John Grisham's update of To Kill a Mockingbird, about a black man on trial for killing a white rapist, looks like an earnest debate in unyielding close-up. The cast is led by three smart stars (Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey), so for now we'll give it a pass...

Unfortunately, as with many other scenes in this film, this scene did not become a real adrenaline-rusher or a "great escape" for the heroine. Instead, the movie simply continued, as if nothing happened. Hey, Goel, did this movie change your opinions about the Web? Are you worried that things may not really be safe after you saw a woman's identity change completely...
