Over mugs of coffee in the morning, pizza and beer at midnight, the task force obsessed about his contradictions. He scraped the labels off batteries so they could not be traced, used stamps long past their issue dates and wires that were out of production. He made his own explosives out of commonly available chemicals. He left no fingerprints. Yet he also used distinctive handmade components when store-bought parts would have worked better and been harder to trace. He made switches that he could have bought at Radio Shack.

Young and charming, giving no indication of his inner turmoil, De Niro's Travis enters the senator's campaign office to proclaim with boyish impetuousness that Betsy is the most beautiful person has ever seen. Yet even here warning signs lurk, as in the way he carefully details exactly what he and Betsy have on their little coffee shop date. Travis's bizarre hypocrisy emerges when...
