...slams into leering young men and scratches a police car before picking up an elderly woman at a lewdly named old-folks' home. Then Madonna and gal pal switch to a red Trans Am, set fire to a gas station, run over street hockey players and execute a Thelma & Louise-style crash into a pole. Madonna says her character is "acting out a fantasy and doing things girls are not supposed to do." She and Ritchie will continue their act again soon: the two will...

And Krueger makes sure to keep us entertained. Along the way, Joline meets a sculptor, Neil (Goran Visnjic) who can do something you would never be able...

Of course Ridley Scott, whose only big hit was the 1979 Alien but who directed influential films such as Blade Runner and Thelma & Louise, possessed the vision and stamina to bring a complex story to screen life. And you bet Russell Crowe has the thoughtful, coiled danger, the unfakable maleness to become one of Hollywood's most wanted actors. He simply needed a showcase as grand as this...
