Director Marc Forster--whose résumé includes a lot of gimmicky art-house fare, from Finding Neverland to The Kite Runner--does much better when he has no moral in tow; he can concentrate on shepherding the second-unit stunt work and setting a tempo of nearly nonstop suspense. What's lost in reverberations from the series' blithe old movies is gained in daredevil vigor...
...everywhere. That's the cue for M's trusted bodyguard to pull a gun on her and reveal himself as a Quantum hireling.

Ultimately, whether or not delegates offset their carbon emissions or bike around Denver in the August heat will matter less than whether 2008 marks the moment that environmentalism truly enters the electoral mainstream. "We're cautiously optimistic," says Helen Forster. "What we really need is a consciousness shift." If that happens, Etown will provide the soundtrack to a green revolution...
