...lanes the car cornered beautifully and handled more precisely than you'd expect from a front-wheel drive setup. Of course, to be an Si fan means loving short-throw manual gear shifts and the squeal of a high-pitched engine in the cabin. It also entails trading a smooth ride for the rattling experience that comes with a sport-tuned suspension...
...there simply must be sinister doings afoot—hardly the ideal setting for frivolity and wit. Johansson and Hunt give tepid performances, to say the very least. Johansson, playing the stereotypically naïve Midwestern girl, is insufferably proud of herself. Her American accent jars horrendously with the smooth delivery of the British actors, and she spends so much of the film looking saintly that you wonder if she’s capable of original thought.

But the assumption of the shooting guard role wasn’t a particularly smooth one. Despite leading the team in scoring for most of the non-conference season, he cracked the 20-point barrier just once and struggled mightily from the field. Over the final six non-league games he shot a combined 24-of-77 (31 percent) from the field and 10-for-41 (24 percent...
