...that's not really the issue. What people sense, particularly in Davis' performance, is that she is getting off on her newly discovered taste and talent for gun-slinging outlawry. It's a kick, not so very different from, maybe part and parcel of, her newly discovered pleasure in sex. This is something nice girls -- nice people, nice movies -- are not supposed to own up to, let alone speak of humorously.

Coetzee testified last summer that former colleagues on the South African police force were behind the hit-squad deaths of several A.N.C. activists. The parcel bomb was sent to Coetzee in Lusaka. But when he refused to pay the duty on the package, it was sent to Mlangeni's Johannesburg law firm, falsely listed as the return address. Intrigued by a tape marked EVIDENCE OF HIT SQUADS, the lawyer took the tape player home...
