Actually, no, forget that. Anne Wilkes Tucker, curator of photography at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, is nothing like a giant black slab. She's gracious, enthusiastic and cultivated. No slab in our experience has anything like her laugh, which is the musical kind you might expect from a woman born in Baton Rouge, La., one whose taste is stately enough to embrace the 19th century Japanese camera portrait but frisky enough to approve paparazzi shots from the Rome of La Dolce Vita.

It's good to see Zhang Ziyi, the high-flying ingenue from Crouching Tiger, in a dragon-lady role, and fetching Roselyn Sanchez as a woman of uncertain loyalties. But until a vigorous climax, the action scenes have little punch. The film seems content to rely on the formula that could (small sigh) extend for a few more sequels: Jackie...
