...film star Ron Jeremy, Crowe disappears rather ostentatiously into the role; he's like a hedgehog trying to hide behind a Ping Pong ball. Affleck puts his stiff affability to handsome use, and McAdams reads all her lines correctly. The showy role - of a public-relations creep named Dominic Foy, a friend of the murdered woman and a pusher of questionable corporate agendas - goes to Jason Bateman. He's most entertaining, in a squirm-inducing way, but lacks the preening, queening elan of Mark Warren, the BBC's Dominic...

Trade Commissioner, and installed in the House of Lords as Baron Mandelson of Foy and Hartlepool to serve as Business Secretary.

...explosion took place at 9:05 am on a heavily fortified backstreet between the hotel parking lot and the rear vehicle entrance of the US consulate. The sophistication of the attack suggested advance planning, and Foy's armored 4X4 appears to have been directly targeted. The entire street is closed to pedestrians and public transport, and all vehicles entering the area must pass stringent security precautions, including inspection of vehicle trunks and chassis.
