...price of failing to come up with an acceptable public persona--one that emits a few rays of personality while keeping a semblance of privacy--is that Phoenix is rarely anyone's first choice as a leading man. (The studio logic is that if you can't open up for five minutes on a talk-show couch, you probably can't open a movie.) He accepts that without anger. "I never wanted to be a salesman," Phoenix says. "It's not what I do." Luckily for him, there are directors who recognize the difference between an interesting interview...

This stands in stark contrast to American action films like “Collateral Damage,” in which the logic of retribution is never called into question, and the act of revenge is celebrated as cathartic and restorative. In New York, Hasan is reunited with his childhood friend Sayeed (Firdous Bamji). Sayeed has found success in America as a physician and enjoys a comfortable middle-class existence. Sayeed...
