...almost as if they used placeholders from an earlier draft. Shocklingly, this seems to have actually occurred with the appropriately titled “Rita’s Tune,” an utterly unnecessary second-act number for a cigarette girl whose role now lingers between underwritten principal and overwritten symbol...
Most dioceses pray their insurance will cover the costs, but that's unlikely. All dioceses carry general negligence and liability coverage, but that basic policy, underwritten by commercial companies like Kemper and Lloyd's of London, doesn't begin to cover settlements the size of Boston's.

Turning in a memorable and credible performance, he shows us exactly why he became a star in the first place. German superstar Schweiger does what he can with an underwritten character, shining in his all-too-brief moments onscreen. At first, he is portrayed as the stereotypical foreign enemy villain, loaded with menace and poison. But soon his true character is revealed, that of a dedicated and fearless man who can own up to his mistakes and attempt to correct them...
