...flashier role: shirtsleeves rolled up, dark hair slicked back, he's a brash, bullying but well-meaning family man, who has become an expert at justifying the moral compromises demanded by the urban jungle where he works. Craig is the more sensitive of the pair, sporting a file-clerk mustache and drab gray suit, a reformed alcoholic caught between his loyalty and his scruples. They've got their American (if not quite Chicago) accents down pat, but they never preen, or call attention to the against-type casting. It's otherwise known as acting...

"They did not tell us they had computer failure...
...similarities can be baffling. Rent the Indian drama Fiza and you'll be pointed to Season 1 of Scrubs and the Bakker biopic The Eyes of Tammy Faye. This is when I yearn for the guys behind the old Kim's counter. Not that every video-store clerk is a budding Quentin Tarantino, eager to point renters toward some arcane masterpiece from Italy or Hong Kong, but you do miss out on a face-to-face with a knowledgeable cinephile...
