...really don't believe he's a killer. But that brings us to the movie's central problem: a lack of alternative suspects. Rowena's needy, nerdy computer geek assistant (Giovanni Ribisi) is weird enough, but too obvious. Hill's wife is a vague possibility, but doesn't get enough screen time to be taken seriously. How the screenwriter, Todd Komarnicki, and the director, James Foley, resolve this problem is a genre travesty and an affront to their star...
Lucky for him, a friend of his brother's wife worked for producer Jon Avnet (Risky Business, Fried Green Tomatoes). Avnet liked the six minutes of robots so much he put up his own seed money and persuaded Law, Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Giovanni Ribisi to sign up for a vintage-looking film about a pilot and a tagalong reporter saving the world from an evil genius. "It's a rare chance we get to do something completely original artistically," says Jolie. "People use blue screen to cheat or enhance a little, but he had a film in his head...
...movie, a dreamy meditation on midlife crises and the nature of transient connections, Murray plays Bob Harris, a disillusioned movie star in Tokyo to shoot a Japanese whiskey commercial. Scarlett Johansson is Charlotte, a newlywed accompanying her workaholic husband (Giovanni Ribisi) on a job. Coppola shot the film in 27 days and stuck to a relatively minuscule $4 million budget.

...character film, Lost isn't quite fair to Bob's wife--a hectoring, transpacific phone voice--or to Charlotte's photographer husband (Giovanni Ribisi), who's easily beguiled by blond starlets. The movie also makes too much easy fun of the Japanese: that they are a short people who speak in very long sentences and mix up their ls and rs. (A prostitute invades Bob's room and orders him to "lip my stockings.") But that's just America's cultural myopia at work abroad. We go there and wonder, Why don't these people speak English? What are they...
...related death of her husband in Turin, Italy. After an unsuccessful attempt to bomb the drug dealer’s office, she instead kills four innocent people, is arrested—go figure—and eventually falls in love with an officer who believes her wild story (Giovanni Ribisi). No doubt the chameleon-like Blanchett can easily slip into this disturbed role, but whether Tykwer can reconcile his almost dementedly fast-paced visual style with an apparently weepy melodramatic plot remains to be seen...
