...become an all-too-familiar destination. And certainly not the makers of big action films, as sleek and efficient and fun as they are. That's one of the limitations of machine entertainment like the Anderson Death Race. It can't break the mold it's cast in; it can reproduce only itself.

It leaves the job of governance to a cast of political leaders for whom the military brass holds a well-established contempt, but nobody doubts that if the military's red lines are crossed, it always has the option of installing a new man in khaki. The military may have already signaled the limits on acceptable civilian authority last month, when Prime...
