...pleasure to report that the new Rush Hour is... OK. Brett Ratner, who directed the first two episodes (as well as the third X-Men and the Hannibal Lecter movie Red Dragon), isn't out to win an Oscar here; the movie is as lacking in visual elegance as it is in pretension.

Under his brush, the grass was greener, the phone booths a more violent red. (Redgrave was given auburn hair.) The intent this time was not political. It was to show the power that a visual artist has over reality - and the limits of that power...
