...first two endeavors. Now, shocking devices foisted upon this movie's stultifyingly paced plot and Grier's well-intentioned yet boring performance seem instantly tired. At one point, the "sudden shoot" gimmick--witness Tim Roth's character in Reservoir Dogs, or Pulp Fiction's poor victim of Vincent Vega's gun and a bump in the road--seems downright offensive, suggesting a world where such cavalier violence on a woman is far more disturbing and sinister than Tarantino blindly intended...
SENTENCED. VINCENT ("The Chin") GIGANTE, 69, Mob boss whose famously odd behavior (namely, roaming the streets in a bathrobe) was judged a ruse; to 12 years in prison, for murder-conspiracy and racketeering; in New York City. Gigante was also fined $1.25 million...

Ethan Hawke plays Vincent Freeman, a natural who borrows the identity of one of the elite to fulfill his lifelong dream of leading a mission to outer space. The film suffers from unevenness, sketchy characters and muted acting; however, Niccol's striking images make it easy to overlook the dramatic flaws...
