...serpentine sting plot, grainy filming, and complex ensemble of characters reek of Scott’s failed attempt to liken the film to the British thrillers “Snatch” or “Layer Cake.” The green-and-yellow tint of the film, quick camera cuts (so typical to Scott’s previous “Enemy of the State” and “Man on Fire”), and voyeuristic shots of Knightley function to inculcate the viewer into the sordid world of the bounty hunter, but become hackneyed...

The 29-year-old Italian from Rome has been charming audiences with her crooked smile and combination of charisma and reserve since appearing in La Balia (The Nanny) in 1999. Critics liken her to her iconic compatriots Anna Magnani and Sophia Loren. This year everyone else will understand why. Sansa will appear in three films in Europe: the romantic drama L'Amore Ritrovato (An Italian Romance); the psychological thriller Contronatura (Unnatural); and her English-language debut, The Listening, a tale of espionage with...
