But the Miami warehouse cult that gave Cheney the willies seemed like they'd have trouble finding a Sears let alone blowing up the Sears Tower...
...that any actor could do about as well as he can. He needs to be involved with us, not with the lunking machinery of the movie. When, for example, he?s miming alarm and confusion he gets to do some terrific, ephemeral things with his eyes. Sometimes they are bright with half-formed schemes. Sometimes they are hard with a resolve that has not quite coalesced into a plan of action. Sometimes they are addled with a flickering panic he can't entirely hide. In these moments he takes us behind the conventional hero's stoic mask and allows...
