Rush Hour

City traffic can make you scream. The lights change too soon, other drivers are distracted by cell phones, dining and personal grooming. What can you do? Well one thing is to have a singalong. Soo Yung (Julia Hsu) may not be a teenager yet but she knows how to have a good time. All you need to do is sing and with a back seat all to herself, she’s finding it a grand endeavour. However, Soo Yung’s bodyguard (Roger Fan) isn’t so lucky since he has a job to do. Neither is Soo Yung’s driver (George Cheung) as he has to keep his mind on the road.

The Bourne Identity

What sort of circumstances are needed before you begin to trust someone? When the American and the Swiss attempt to capture Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) at the US consulate in Zurich, he gives Marie Helena Kreutz (Franka Potente) $20,000 to take him to Paris, the city of the address on a passport. He spins a wild tale of amnesia, chases and bad guys attempting to assassinate him. In Paris, Marie finds wanted posters in an assassin’s bag with both her and Bourne’s pictures on them, after the killer explodes through a window.

X-Men: The Last Stand

Why do some believe there is a nobility and graciousness to bad guys? Most are venal, unworthy of their reps. For example, we all hate Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), the toady of Magneto (Ian McKellen). But when she steps in front of him and takes a dart in the shoulder, we think what a nice thing to do. But then we see that she has been stripped of her shape-shifting ability and she ends up lying naked on the floor of the prison truck van. Most of us think, oh dear, what is going to happen to her now? Me, I’m thinking she’s naked. Magneto seems to be surprised at how vulnerable she appears. Then, in reaching out to him (after her most callous disregard for all things not Magneto), he turns away shunning her, leaving her discarded like any other piece of broken equipment.

The Bourne Supremacy

Is it possible to believe someone who you think has betrayed you? Maybe, but you’ll need more proof. Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) believes that Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) ordered Marie’s (Franka Potente) death in Goa. He targets her with a rifle from a nearby roof, and calls her to ask why people are after him again. She isn’t aware that he is so close by and tells him that it is because he killed two people in Berlin. He tells her that she should be more careful and looks tired. Her shock is palpable.
