...Superman by portraying an easy frustration with Nicky's mistakes. While Nicky pathetically begs forgiveness for some stupid mistake, Gino mercilessly continues to scold his brother. Liotta is best during emotional scenes, but his acting suffers whenever he is separated from Hulce, particularly in scenes away from the inner-city world Nicky and Gino live in. Fortunately, most of Liotta's scenes are emotional encounters with Nicky...

While Reagan likes to have a strong chief of staff filtering the information that reaches him, Bush prefers to hash out issues with his advisers. Moreover, he would not hesitate to solicit opinions outside his inner circle. "I believe in talking to as many people as I can. I always have," Bush told TIME last week. "If we had a problem on a certain matter involving the Soviet Union, for example, I wouldn't hesitate to call in a particular CIA expert and talk...
