...there were the occasional hits that demonstrated Detroit's deep pedigree in engineering and design. Chrysler, desperately surviving on a government-guaranteed loan, created the minivan in 1984. That same year, it launched the first modern sport-utility vehicle, the Jeep Cherokee. Throughout it all, Detroit kept its dominance of the hugely important pickup-truck market - and does so to this...
...alley, a white jeep with smoky windows rumbles by, and the MS boys leap up. The 18 have been driving around the neighborhood in a similar white jeep, smashing in doors of MS houses and spraying everybody inside, grandmothers and children, with Uzis.

In his press conference at Cannes, Spielberg said, "I believe in practical magic, not digital magic," and in "real stunts with real people." These stunts are real good...
