...constant horizontal movement paid off in the 45th minute, when midfielder Orly Ripmaster found herself wide open in the center of the field, 25 yards from goal...
Saddam's other "enemy" lives 2,000 miles away in an 18th century town house on London's fashionable Cavendish Square. It looks more like the corporate digs of a leveraged-buyout firm than the headquarters of a guerrilla movement. Instead of AK-47s and Molotov cocktails, No. 17 Cavendish Square boasts fully equipped offices with ergonomic furniture, fresh-cut flowers and expensive prints hanging on the walls.

Throw in some low-tech visual effects (superimposing, slow motion, etc.), and the result is a visual spectacle unlike anything in the American film tradition...
