...station in the Boston market,” she explains. “I meet executives from record companies, and I’m learning how to communicate within the music industry. There’s a certain kind of talk.” All the sweet-talking and flesh-pressing is the experience Baudouin needs for her intended job of working in the marketing department of a major or indie label. “I’ll be someone at a major label who’s not jaded,” she says...

The romantic angle of the typical action movie is often the most neglected and the most clichéd. But the scriptwriters take great pains to flesh out their relationship, and it is Gugino more than anyone else who makes that relationship so touching.
