...supporting cast. Jude Law wilts as Jack Burden, who is the central character of the novel but becomes secondary in the film. Penn Warren’s narrator invokes moral ambiguity and empathy; Law annoys the audience with his poor Southern accent, lack of emotions, and unnaturally waxy skin. James Gandolfini truly disappoints as politician Tiny Duffy, simply adding a weak Southern accent to his alter ego of Tony Soprano.

...hours of Independence Day, the simple truth of the psychologist's words hit me. It was true: I was mad at myself for failing to pull off a clean sweep. And it was that anger that was preventing me from savoring the achievement of a lifetime: saving my own skin and that of three others. My failure to get rid of the grenade before it exploded was only the first in a long list of wrongs I would have to pardon before I could finally put the ordeal behind...
