...Though this is the most compelling story in the film, Hawke’s performance is forgettable and uninspired, lacking any of the conviction or depth he displayed as Jake Hoyt in “Training Day.” In the end, Procidia comes off as a whiney hothead who can’t see that the end doesn’t always justify the means, and he gets what he deserves...

...real Barack Obama?" McCain asks, as he runs ads attacking his opponent's "bad instincts" and dangerous lack of judgment. Obama argues the reverse: You can't trust McCain because the one thing you know is that you never know what he'll do next. He's an impulsive hothead who is "erratic in a crisis."

If that were to happen, a war could follow, and we'd find out soon enough if the Iranians really do have sleeper cells...

...right about Arafat, who proved the most unworthy recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in history. And the nerve of that Saudi, in effect blaming the U.S. for 9/11--a month after 15 Saudi terrorists were involved in the attacks, directed by the Saudi Osama bin Laden! Thomas Friedman, no hothead, wrote a column offering "three cheers for Mayor Rudy Giuliani" for stiffing the prince. At the time, I was cheering too. But there is a difference between what is appropriate for a mayor and for a President. "I don't forget" is not a sufficiently flexible foreign policy doctrine...
