...figured that the star of the Transporter series, and The Bank Job and a couple of Guy Ritchie gangland fantasies, would bring along his action-film bona fides. Which he does. Also his impressive torso. One of the movie's few moments of relative repose is a long, loving shot of Statham exercising in his cell, the taut muscles of his upper back pulsing under his flesh like alien tumors.

They passed and cut to the hoop with precision and shot well from behind the three point arc. Nor did they ever allow the U.S. to turn it into a track meet. Fast break points were almost evenly distributed, the U.S. scoring 14 off the break to Australia's ten. (Against Spain last week, that figure was 32-zip in Team...
