...which shows how Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones became blood brothers) with an angry mob outside the U.S. embassy in Yemen. Childers and his troops are helicoptered in to protect the embassy and, if necessary, to remove the ambassador. Childers saves the cowardly ambassador (played by an uncreative Ben Kingsley) and his family, and even more importantly, he rescues the American flag from the roof of the building. The next task is to fight off those dangerous Yemenites. Jackson becomes agitated after three of his troops are shot, so instead of focussing on warding off the snipers that are firing...

While the acting is uniformly fine, the prize of the hour goes to newcomer Jack Davenport, who brings this character to life with such exquisite sensitivity that he more than justifies the touchy business of Tom's gayness. I wouldn't be surprised if you hear the name Davenport again sometime soon. If Anthony Minghella weren't such a smart writer and director, the changed emphasis...
