...hooks up with a refugee group in Burma, where he teaches English. Soon he hungers for a direct confrontation with the regime. After his one-man protest in Rangoon is broken up (it consists of Mawdsley locking himself to a gate and shouting democratic slogans while blasting the film soundtrack to The Mission), he decides that he will return with the intent of going to prison. He shrugs off conventional activism. "The powerfully written reports by NGOS and the sensationalist press?they all smack of hypocrisy and falsehood...

Made by the uni-monikered director McG (Charlie's Angels), it reproduces the high-gloss, empty-calorie experience of a summer action flick, down to the loud soundtrack and the black-guy-white-guy jokes.

...keys carom off each other--it can be ugly. In 1996 Davis made the pieces fit well enough to create one of the great leaps forward in contemporary pop music, Endtroducing ... DJ Shadow, an album of odd snippets blended into warm songs that serves as a kind of jumbled soundtrack to modernity. The Private Press doesn't have Endtroducing's shock of the new, but its music is just as seductive...
