... The great revelation of this film is that Hugh Jackman is apparently Clint Eastwood’s illegitimate son.  (Kidding!)  But man, does he look like a young Eastwood the way he’s shot in this film.  Travolta has lost weight, but he still looks like wardrobe is covering.  Halle Berry’s boobs are… well, I like the fantasy of them better.  Her bare breasted shot is far from her best sexy moment.   She has a shot in some amazing lingerie, legs spread, that is truly breathtaking.  Best effect in the film.  But another set of nipples on a screen?  Yawn.  The fourth member of the team, Don Cheadle, took another career/bank account building role that comes just short of him rousting Huggy Bear.  Cheadle is always great, but more Traffic, less Mission To Mars please.
