The ace air-traffic controller of the Newark-JFK-LaGuardia triangle goes into a tailspin after the arrival of the "interesting" new guy from Arizona, half-Indian and half-cowboy -- not to mention the new guy's very young wife, a full-lipped, full-bosomed, tattooed lush. Some well-turned gags, and some pointed scrutiny of masculine rivalry, jealousy, guilt, but too "edgy" and exaggerated to retain a human contour. Cate Blanchett, fresh from Elizabeth, with an impeccable American accent and a contemporary haircut, seems almost a new discovery. John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Angelina Jolie; directed by Mike Newell. (1999) — Duncan Shepherd
