Yet, in his portrait of Jean Dominique, a Haitian activist unknown to most American ears, Demme takes aim at a slightly obscure topic and turns up a final product that not only serves as a fascinating narrative biography but an excellent debriefing of Haiti’s turbulent political history...
...with Crimson Tide costar Denzel Washington for the story of Creasy, an alcoholic former Special Forces operative recruited by his old friend Rayburn (Christopher Walken) to guard Pita (Dakota Fanning), the young daughter of Mexico City businessman Samuel (Latin heartthrob Marc Anthony). Pita is kidnapped during a shootout with unknown assailants, and in response, Creasy begins his campaign to “do what I do best,” as he puts it to Pita’s mother: “Kill everyone who profited from this action in any way.” And he does, with...
