...bring "closure," he promised. So far, it hasn't. In the past six months, one witness has been gunned down and another received a threat from a court usher. In a brazen act of intimidation, six former Red Berets, sporting their unit's snarling wolf insignia, sat in the courtroom while a colleague tried to testify. Last week, some 50 men wearing T shirts featuring a red rose, Lukovic's trademark tattoo, came to the courtroom to watch their ex-leader make his statement.

So nervous in fact that she devours a Sno-ball in the courtroom bathroom, a scene which the post-screening crowd in the ladies room decided was the most realistic in the whole movie. (Consensus was also reached on the “adorability” of Brosnan). Audrey continues to nosh her way through every emotionally distressing moment in the movie, at one point running away from Daniel down a city block...
