Except in her music. Her first album, Toni Braxton, produced by R.-and-B. hitmakers Antonio ("L.A.") Reid and Kenny ("Babyface") Edmonds, swam against the tide. While other R.-and-B. singers were getting louder, brasher, naughtier, Braxton's songs were slower, heavier, laden with emotion. And they had an attitude. Her first hit, Love Shoulda Brought You Home, admonished a man who had been staying out too late; the song Best Friend (which Braxton co-wrote) is a barbed note to a boyfriend who had an affair with his lover's best friend...

Almost no one thought this theory would be subjected to such a stern test so soon after the bill's passage...
...works very smartly. The Simpson-Bruckheimer production duo run clever variations on their macho obsessions (missiles, car chases, gay baiting, the Crimson Tide mutiny plot). Connery and Cage are fine odd-couple buddies--the grizzled lifer and the computer nerd who, even when tossing a live grenade, throws like a girl. This ain't art, exactly. But if you're at the 'plex and need to choose between The Rock and a Cruise place, it's no choice...
