I don’t know how many days it took to film, how many people were involved, what sort of complexity it took to place the cameras, how often they had to do it to get it right or who did the actual stunt. I just sit there open-mouthed when United States Marshall Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) opens that roof door to see Mark Roberts/Mark Warren/Mark Sheridan (Wesley Snipes) standing on the edge of the roof facing towards the street and says he can’t be arrested because of what he knows. Mark Whatever then leans out, tumbles off the edge of the roof, swings down attached to some rope and swings out and over the street to the rail yards and lands on the roof of the station and leaps onto a train car leaving for elsewhere. My little heart goes pitty-pat every time.

I’m the kind of guy that stores love to see stumbling through their doors. I have some trouble with impulse control. In recent years, this has manifested itself in the urge to buy whatever shiny catches my eye. I get home and shake my head and wonder what I was thinking when I pulled out my credit card. Mostly I’m able to control it but every so often, a friend will look around my place, see something new, shake their head and snort in annoyance. But I sure don’t have the troubles that Frances (Diane Lane) will have after buying a dilapidated old villa while on a two-week coach tour of the Tuscany region of Italy. But I have to admire her reasoning for making the purchase. If I thought I didn’t have the life I wanted and found myself afraid of its prospects, I’d pony up the bucks and buy that place.

Most people know of the old aphorism about revenge being a dish best served cold. But when the object of your need for reprisal is a multitude, how do you go about wreaking it? Perhaps the easiest or simplest is to attack something they all value. In this case, it is all of the peripheral characters who participated in the spreading of details on the death of Owen Reilly’s (Joseph Cross) father. And then publicize the process of murdering them with the zeal that they put into talking publicly about his dad’s suicide and thereby diminishing them. But how do you handle those who are too vague to realize that this is why it is happening to them?

Holly Anderson (Yasmine Bleeth) is enjoying lunch at an outdoor restaurant located beside a canal. She is the object of some attention by a struggling writer, Harrison Tyler (Dean Winters) when my attention was distracted by the semi-familiar locale. It turns out that the scene was filmed down at the end of my street. Not many movies get shot in my home town let alone within a block of my house. A fanboy’s dream.

Have you ever done anything on impulse? It takes just a moment to decide (or not) to do something which can change your life. Turn left instead of right. Ask a question that pops into your head. Look at someone longer than is appropriate. It can change everything. You look back and wonder what might have happened had I done the other. Luke Falcon (Steven Strait) drops his glove and Brier Tucket (Pell James) calls him back to give it to him. Rather than take it as he gets on the subway, he tosses the other one back to her. He knows he should have gone back to see her but he’s in a hurry to get his career going. She gets that look in her eye and wonders whether he might have been the one.
