...there was nothing effete about Mueller, a decorated Marine, who handled cases ranging from the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 to the prosecution of Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega. He smashed through bureaucratic obstacles so enthusiastically that his deputy, Dave Margolis, warned him gently that if he didn't forgo a few battles, Washington would smash him. "I don't bruise easily," Mueller replied. The 56-year-old prosecutor is going to need his thick skin. Last week, when George W.

The movie opens with Cesar, a millionaire playboy played by Eduardo Noriega, finding relief from a seductress Nuria by meeting the beautiful girl next door type Sofia (played by Penelope Cruz). Cesar spends the night at Sofia's apartment in what seems to be the match made in heaven, but as he walks to his car the next morning, he is intercepted...
