...About half an hour into my workout, I saw lots of police cars and vans along the Embankment,” a tube (London slang for Underground) station five stops from the stricken Liverpool Street location, Jethwa wrote in an e-mail...
...transferring his 1982 Broadway play to the screen, John Pielmeier has achieved a sort of Jane Fonda Workout of rewriting. He has stripped it of dialogue fat and added muscle and connective tissue. The piece, which took place on a bare stage, now roams through a handsome Quebec abbey and beyond. Within or outside the convent, however, Agnes would be a girlish anachronism.

They have judged their material well. Fast Eddie is not a man going gentle into his sunset years. His shrewdness has been tempered but not dulled by time, and now he is in need of a workout. The first time Eddie sees Vincent and his girlfriend (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, fascinating as a young woman who wants to be as tough as she talks), he senses they can provide a challenge...
