You expect much more from this group...

Sometimes I make the mistake of thinking that certain combinations of directors and actors must add to a good film. "Spielberg" will always make me think I'll want to see this movie. Add Tom Hanks and it's a winner, right? Sign on Catherine Zeta-Jones for spice and it's an automatic....welllllll, not in this case.
In action movies you expect a lapse from reality. In "The Terminal" you expect things to make sense. You shouldn't be saying "no way, that wouldn't happen" to many of the details and fabric that build the background.
For those of you that saw the movie, where was the whole fountain thing going?
Catherine did what she was paid to do. Tom did not always look comfortable that he was making the sale. Steve missed the boat on both script and direction. Fortunately most of the budget was payroll and not location.
From now on I will have to remember to look before I leap.
