Sometimes being in a service industry makes one wish for a tidier, saner career. During a cab ride to the party after a gallery show, the banter between Oscar Novak (Matthew Perry) and Amy Post (Neve Campbell) so freaks out the cabbie (Ho Chow), that he’s thinking there are better jobs for him to undertake. Compound that with mechanical failure—the taxi engine begins to smoke and while Oscar investigates, it blows up in his face—and he knows that there are safer jobs and it’ll be the first thing he does in the morning.

What happens when you finally find that you’re really good at something but that something is considered morally reprehensible in the eyes of many? Find another job? That’s not so easy when you’ve already been tainted. Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) is the face and the voice of “Big Tobacco.” He’s tasked by the Colonel (Robert Duvall), tobacco’s grand poobah, to bribe the original Marlboro man, Lorne Lutch (Sam Elliott), into clamming up over his condemnation of tobacco as the cause of his lung cancer. Nick offers him a choice of either keeping the cash or giving it away publicly on news TV to selected charities and continuing his struggle. Not an easy choice for a dying man.

Nature vs. nurture. Is it your genes which determine what kind of person you’ll turn out to be? Or is it how and where you are raised that has the principal influence on how you end up? This argument usually shows up during discussion about serial killers or war criminals (who were on the losing side, of course). I’ve pondered this from time to time and the result is always inconclusive. Brothers Randolph (Ralph Bellamy) and Mortimer (Don Ameche) Duke chatter about it as well. Being slippery, sleazy and manipulative, they decide to forge a real example and bet a buck upon which would prove supreme. They choose Louis Winthorpe III ((Dan Aykroyd), who runs the Dukes’s company, who soon finds himself framed for theft, jailed for dealing drugs, turned out of his house, shunned by his friends and despised by his fiancée after the brothers hire a hooker, Ophelia (Jamie Lee Curtis), to speed his downfall. The other side is represented by Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy), a street hustler, who is given everything that Louis has lost. Woe betide the brothers when Louis and Billy Ray discover the Duke’s plan.

Sometimes you should just mind your own business. Frank Martin (Jason Statham) has a lucrative business transporting cargo from place to place. But he figures out that the cargo in his trunk is human and, against his better judgement, he gives her a drink which leads to her needing to pee which leads her attempted escape which leads to some cops discovering his secret which leads to her delivery with the cops stuffed in the trunk which leads to a second job for “Wall Street” (Matt Schulze) which leads to his car being bombed… What’s a guy to do?

I’ve always suspected a neighbour couple of being secret agents. But I’ve never found any proof. And honestly, I don’t know whether I’d want to find it for they may discover my prying. Who knows where or how I’d end up. So I keep my thoughts to myself and try to purge my paranoia. Now if my neighbours were Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who is a sales representative for computer company, his wife Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) and 14-year old daughter Dana (Eliza Dushku), I wouldn’t give them a second look. Even though Harry works for a secret US government agency that deals with nuclear terrorists and is on the trail of Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik), the leader of a band of baddies who have their hands on ex-Soviet nuclear warheads. This, however, becomes a secondary problem for Harry who is convinced that his long-neglected wife has been carrying on an affair. Paranoia runs deep in the spy business too.
