...atavistic inhumanity as one could imagine. Palestinians, however, were quick to point to the incredible disparity in casualties--more than 100 dead Palestinians versus six dead Israelis--as an outrage. Worse atrocities than the Ramallah lynchings have been committed before in the conflict, on both sides, but never on film. "Morally, we had to retaliate," said Israeli military chief Lieut. General Shaul Mofaz. "It was a supreme commandment even." In preparing his attack, Mofaz worked from a list of 30 possible targets, all facilities of the Palestinian Authority.

Yes, this is not exactly a departure from the type of character the actor typically plays. But hey, the man's damn good at what he does. Consider this Gere's honors thesis at the University for Charming Leading Men. Other highlights include Shelly Long as Carolyn, T's plucky assistant, and Tara Reid as the doctor's conspiracy-obsessed daughter (she gives enthusiastic tours...
