The Matarese Circle

　　《恐怖黑手》

　　Denzel Washington can get pretty boring, as he's often playing the same role in different movies. Tom Cruise can get pretty creepy, just in general. But you have to cut the two stars some slack. When they want to be good --Washington in Training Day and Cruise in Magnolia -- they're damn good.Both Washington and Cruise go head-to-head as two archrival spies, one American and the other Russian, who must gain each other's trust inorder to fight a common enemy called the Matarese. It's an adaptation of a Robert Ludlum novel, the author who conceived Jason Bourne, so expect some riveting high-wire espionage and intense tête-à-têtes. But what has us ecstatic is director David Cronenberg, who's molding the screen play to his perversely brilliant taste. So expect a spy thriller that dissects the sex appeal in brutality a la A History of Violence.
