...tweak that makes them interesting. Their Huelva Bus Station is representative of their spare geometry; it has an aerial outline of a triangular segment cut out of a circle. On two sides the exterior follows that contour, but on the third, the exterior wall curves inwards to create a fluid curve out of an originally straight line. As vehicles enter the terminal, they follow a twisted path around a static circle spoked by bus bays for arrivals and departures. As a result, the building possesses a dynamic interface between the passengers and their transport. This subtle bending of rigid shapes...

Roosevelt, Class of 1904. Allowing the assassins throughout history to meet each other highlights the common themes...
...equipped (to begin with, the phone doesn't work) and quite breachable by determined miscreants. This movie, written by David Koepp, is a fairly standard exercise in claustrophobic menace. It is also an exercise in style. If you like director David Fincher's manner--a fluid camera moving quickly through underlighted, underfurnished spaces--you may find it more artful than the usual stalker movie...
