...computer viruses, paranoia, sci-fi conspiracies and--gasp!--a shortage of champagne? Movies that hype the end of the century, the end of the world? They're nowhere to be found. Too short a shelf-life, the executives claimed. So instead of continuing the postmodern trend launched by Run Lola Run, American Beauty and Being John Malkovich earlier this year, we're getting epic fluff--the annual flurry of "Oscar-bait...

It's a fantastic movie--but also just the type of movie that American filmmakers would never risk making. (Instead, we get classics like Three to Tango! My dog could have peed that script.) The plot's so pithy: drug dealer accidentally leaves the 100,000 marks that he's supposed to give to his drug lord on a subway train. He and his girlfriend, fiery, red-haired Lola, have...
