...committee, which consisted of Scalise, Harvard football coach Tim Murphy, Associate Athletic Director Sherri Norred, and Assistant Athletic Director Ryan Fry. According to Murphy, Amaker won the committee over soon after he met with them. “About five minutes into the interview, we were on a recruiting mode,” he said. “We were just so impressed. I mean, obviously the experience and pedigree speak for themselves in the context of basketball, but when you meet the guy, you just find out that he’s the real deal...
...scene has just begun. That's a comment on the old days, but it also proves that when it comes to eroticism, of the true or even exploitation variety, these directors are such cowards. If they use sex at all, it is in the horror-film mode pioneered by Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Show a woman in a shower, then kill her.

...plays it cool here. He lets his stars do their thing: Ruffalo emitting just a whisper of rage under his just-the-facts-ma'am demeanor; Downey playing the chatty, suicidal genius (the actor's line readings always have a jazzman's musical ingenuity); and Gyllenhaal in his winsome mode, looking like a puppy who just got swatted with a newspaper by the master he somehow still adores. The star quality has to carry the movie, all 2 1/2 hours of it, since Fincher assumes that audiences will be fascinated by the minutiae of police work while they get only...
