...having nasty sex with his adviser's young wife--and that our larcenous hero does nothing to stop her murder. This old-style thriller sometimes creaks in its joints as it adds an amoral aide (Judy Davis), a canny cop (Ed Harris) and a Secret Service agent (Scott Glenn) as weary as the one Clint played in In the Line of Fire. But Eastwood is less interested in political corruption than in filial care; the warming, nicely played relationship of the burglar and his lawyer daughter (Laura Linney) is the source of the film's absolute power...

(The coach wanted to use the draft choice to sign a defensive lineman.) So when Glenn strained a hamstring and sat out training camp and preseason, Parcells was asked about the prognosis for his young receiver. "She's doing O.K.," he sniped. Glenn, who has overcome plenty more than mere ankle biting, shrugged it off. "There are worse things," he said. Now on the threshold of his first Super Bowl, Glenn has even...
