...everyone knows the Hollywood ending to this tale. Berry and Washington both get nominated for Academy Awards. They are underdogs from the start. But Berry unexpectedly takes home the award--and becomes the first African-American woman in history to win a Best Actress Oscar. Then Washington wins in his category--and becomes the first African-American man to win a leading-actor Oscar since Sidney Poitier for the 1963 film Lilies of the Field. Cue the John Williams music. Roll credits...

Unfortunately, the resulting combination of hyperactive anxiety and vacillation results...

Forest Whitaker provides one of the few bright spots in an otherwise anemic cast, searching for depth in the character of the conflicted Burnham, the only thief whom writer Koepp seems to have bothered to provide with a sense of real humanity.
