...Hemingway's heroes are defeated in Winner Take Nothing and in the novels. In To Have and Have Not, Harry Morgan had not. The dark, antiheroes of a time as recent as the 1970s have disappeared too--De Niro in Taxi Driver, Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon. Bruce Springsteen sang about his "town full of losers." In Rocky 28, our hero may finally knock out Adrian, but in his first fight (1976) he lost beautifully...
...have to make do with the comic mainstream, wherein The Whole Nine Yards is currently bobbing. Directed by Jonathan Lynn (My Cousin Vinny), it's a story more machined than created, in which Oz Oseransky (Matthew Perry), an innocent Canadian dentist, gets involved with a semiretired mob hit man (Bruce Willis) and a legion of his former colleagues who want to whack Willis for ratting out their boss.

Perry plays the nervous neighbor to perfection, but too often resorts to the antics of Chandler Bing on "Friends," and he is unwholly suited for the heroic turn he makes later in the movie. Bruce Willis plays the glamorous hitman a little too glamorously, and his comedic style appears to be to speak as little as possible while still looking glib and threatening. Having appeared in the more serious The Green Mile, Michael Clarke Duncan plays the more convincing hitman, probably from having been...
