...seem to be a Sinead O'Connor kind of place. Given her reputation as a fiery, outspoken singer, one might expect her to favor shadowy, wrong-side-of-town pubs. Bewley's on Westmoreland Street at first glace seems like the kind of coffeehouse where one might spy Chandler, Monica and the rest of the Friends gang sipping cappuccinos. But in truth, Bewley's is a historic chain in Ireland (James Joyce is claimed as a past patron), so this is where O'Connor, who lives nearby in a three-bedroom apartment, chooses to meet and talk about Faith...

Perry plays the nervous neighbor to perfection, but too often resorts to the antics of Chandler Bing on "Friends," and he is unwholly suited for the heroic turn he makes later in the movie. Bruce Willis plays the glamorous hitman a little too glamorously, and his comedic style appears to be to speak as little as possible while still looking glib and threatening. Having appeared...
