...Golden Age? Better, perhaps, to call this Elizabeth: The Frenzied Years - especially since the film's director, Shekhar Kapur, suffers from an advanced case of restless camera syndrome. Tracking shots, twisting boom shots, placements that are either radically high or low - they all betoken a director who doesn't trust his material. And why should he?

Jones, who faces prison time, returned the five medals she won at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and tearfully apologized to fans outside a New York City courthouse for having "betrayed your trust." U.S. Olympics chief Peter Ueberroth asked Australians for forgiveness.
