    I've not stopped thinking about it -- weighing might-have-beens and alternative courses of action, as though remembering an actual event rather than a nimble, superbly-realized fantasy. That's a first-rate achievement.
  2. 60
    Lurie undermines his high-wire act with the melodramatic carryings-on of the diner patrons.
  3. 33
    A new political thriller, has an ending so egregiously stupid that not to reveal it would be a disservice to moviegoers.
