Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A bleak look at how the Boston underworld operates, a film which was based on the best-seller by George V., Higgins. It is seen through the weary eyes of a 51-year-old, small-time hood, Eddie "Fingers" Coyle (Mitchum).  His current dilemma is that he got caught running illegal booze by truck and faces a 3-5 year stretch in New Hampshire, something he feels will be a life sentence for him since he doesn't think he could survive prison at his age. He is also concerned that his wife and three kids will have to go on welfare. He could have cut a deal and gotten off, if he turned his boss over to the D.A., but he figured he would never live if he did that.
He is currently gun-running for a gang of very successful bank robbers led by Scalise (Rocco). The masked bank robbers operate by always first going to the bank manager's house and holding his family hostage and then they go to the bank and force the manager to open the vault for them or else his family gets it. On one of the heists, they kill a bank officer who pushes the alarm.
Coyle's best friend is Dillon (Boyle), a hit man for the mob, working as a bartender. He is a permanent stoolie for the treasury agents, as an aggressive young agent named Foley (Jordan), who likes to be called uncle, gives Dillon breathing room to operate some of his low-level crime activities and to work the bar even though he has a prison record, as long as he keeps getting valuable info from him on things happening with the gangs.
With the sentencing date closing in on him, the already convicted Coyle is out on bail and looking for an angle to cut his jail time. He contacts agent Foley and gives him a few inconsequential tips and then decides to do something that goes against his grain. Thinking he made an iron-clad deal with Foley to get his sentenced squashed in New Hampshire, he gives him the place where a sale of machine guns is going down, knowing full-well the young hustler (Keats) selling the guns is a lot like he was as a youth and when arrested will be facing a life sentence.
But Foley tells him after he arrests the gun-dealer, that New Hampshire wants more before they take away his jail sentence, they want him to be a full-time informer.
Warning: spoiler follows in next paragraph.
The bank robbers are setup and caught in the act and the mob boss is convinced Coyle did it and gives Dillon the contract to take care of his friend. The contemptuous Dillon befriends Coyle and treats him to a steak dinner and takes him to a Bruin hockey game while getting him boozed up. Coyle takes a look at the young Bruin star Bobby Orr from his upper deck seat and says, "To be young like that and have his future, he's the greatest hockey player in the world." Dillon then takes the drunken Coyle for a long drive and executes him mob-style, having a kid who works for him dump the body in some bad section of Boston.
This is a great atmospheric film due to the realistic noir mood it sets, of the hopeless situation the low-level criminals are in, and how they are forced to live with fear and the uncertainty of what horrible thing will happen next.  There is a fatalistic feel about their lives, something Robert Mitchum wears as easily as others put on a hat. Mitchum gives this film all the intensity and purpose it needs, as it overcomes a thin plot. It makes you see the characters for what they are without any false sympathy for them. Mitchum is a loser; and, that he lived so long, is a tribute to his skills as a survivor. But in the end, he even loses the respect he had among his underworld friends as a standup guy, as he wrestled with his code of honor and lost even that battle.

ITV Coronation Street fans disturbed by 'devil child' Hope Stape
"It is worrying to say the least."

Hope's spiralling behaviour has become a huge cause for concern for mum Fiz Stape, played by, Jennie McAlpine, and Tyrone Dobbs, played by Alan Halsall.
But on ITV tonight it also started to concern viewers as they watched her get eerily excited as a firework party got out of hand and a fire, sending two foot flames into the air, started.
As the rest of the family backed away in fear, Hope was relishing the flickering flames, almost giddy and fans were shocked.
One, @moore95_pamela said: " Oh my god. Hope's euphoric reaction to the fire she started is positively disturbing."
Another, @PunjabAlchemist said: " Hope, Weatherfield's "I'm a fire-starter" devil child."
A third, @rebeccamason12 said: " I know Fizz is very annoying but is she really that daft? I’d be seriously concerned if a child was getting pleasure like that from fire-setting."
A fourth, @DannyFlexen said: " Hope's a firestarter, twisted firestarter."
And a fifth, @1stLadyHooligan said: " Hope is loving that fire, the happiness on her face seeing it is worrying to say the least."
But it is not yet clear if Hope started the fire, and as tutor Jade Rowan, played by Lottie Henshall, plots to portray Fiz and Tyrone as unfit parents to social services, this is not going to help.
And now Fiz is convinced she started the fire and the factory fire and they she is to blame for Hope's behaviour.
And viewers see Jade telling Hope how "mummy always sees the worst in her", only adding to her horrible plot.
*Coronation Street is on ITV1, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm

ACME general features¶
For both C++ library and MATLAB mex interface, ACME geometrical entities are organised in classes with the following structure:
virtual class entity;
class none < entity;
class point < Eigen::Matrix, entity;
class line < entity;
class ray < entity;
class plane < entity;
class segment < entity;
class triangle < entity;
class disk < entity;
class ball < entity;
class collection;
class aabb;
class AABBtree;
where the symbol < indicates the public inheritance. Let us get a closer and detailed look to each of these classes.
Class entity¶
The entity class is the most basic class. Its aim is to provide a common framework from which to develop more specific geometric entities. For this reason it is a pure virtual class with no members. The virtual methods aimed to check the nature of the geometric entity itself are the following:
virtual method type which returns a std::string type;
virtual method isEntity which returns a bool type;
virtual method isNone which returns a bool type;
virtual method isPoint which returns a bool type;

Class none¶
The none class is a publicly inherited class from entity. Its aim is to represent nothing than nothing. If the C++ polymorphic behaviour is exploited this class will represent the null intersection between objects. The none class is a non-abstract class with no members. The implemented methods only override the virtual ones defined in the base class entity.

build: build AABB tree given a list of boxes;
print: print AABB tree data;
collision: template function to check if two AABB tree collide;
intersection: compute all the intersection leafs of AABB trees.
External functions¶
Objects defined by the previous classes can interact between them through external functions defined in acme namespace. These functions are:
intersection: it allows to intersect two elements or just check if two geometric entities collide;
isParallel: check if two geometric entities are parallel;
isOrthogonal: check if two geometric entities are orthogonal;
isCollinear: check if two geometric entities are collinear;
isCoplanar: check if two geometric entities are coplanar.
Each of these functions are overloaded and they can take objects or raw pointers to entity as input.


Gender studies is an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to analysing gender identity and gendered representation. It includes women's studies (concerning women, feminism, gender, and politics), men's studies and queer studies. Sometimes, gender studies is offered together with study of sexuality.
These disciplines study gender and sexuality in the fields of literature, language, geography, history, political science, sociology, anthropology, cinema, media studies, human development, law, public health and medicine. It also analyzes how race, ethnicity, location, class, nationality, and disability intersect with the categories of gender and sexuality.
Women's studies is an academic field that draws on feminist and interdisciplinary methods in order to place women’s lives and experiences at the center of study, while examining social and cultural constructs of gender; systems of privilege and oppression; and the relationships between power and gender as they intersect with other identities and social locations such as race, sexual orientation, socio-economic class, and disability.
Repatriation is the return of art or cultural heritage, often referring to ancient or looted art, to their country of origin or former owners (or their heirs). The disputed cultural property items are physical artifacts of a group or society that were taken from another group usually in an act of looting, whether in the context of imperialism, colonialism or war. The contested objects vary widely and include sculptures, paintings, monuments, objects such as tools or weapons for purposes of anthropological study, and human remains.

We Finally Know When The Mercedes-AMG One Will Arrive
After numerous delays, AMG's F1-inspired hypercar is finally coming.
by Jared RosenholtzMercedes-AMG revealed its upcoming hypercar, the AMG One, way back in 2017. The car only received an official name (previously called the Project One) in late 2018 but over one year later, it has yet to reach customers' hands. Mercedes has reportedly had issues certifying the One's 1.6-liter F1-inspired V6 engine for emissions while also maintaining its incredible 671 horsepower output. The car also features four electric motors, boosting the total output to over 1,000 hp.
While customers wait to receive their cars, some have even attempted to flip their build slot for the $2.7 million hypercar for as much as $4 million. Perhaps some of the AMG One's wealthy buyers have grown tired of waiting for the car but according to Road & Track, Mercedes has finally announced a delivery time.
Speaking with Michael Knöller, AMG's global head of product management and sales, at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, R&T was told, "When you make F1 technology street legal you have to go through a journey with the customers. We had some challenges, but now we've reached a tipping point." Mercedes struggled to bring the engine's idle rpm down from 5,000 to just 1,200 in order to meet WLTP emissions standards. Meeting European sound regulation has also proven to be difficult because this is a racing engine after all.
Knöller says these issues are finally starting to be resolved and that deliveries are set to begin in 2021. Only 275 examples will be built globally and as you'd expect, they are all sold out. The AMG One is also expected to be a one-and-done from Mercedes, meaning there likely won't be an AMG Two any time soon. Just like the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder, the AMG One is expected to appear in a trio of next-generation hypercars including the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Lotus Evija.

beerplot
This is a scatter plot.
Alcohol content and bitterness rating of various U.S. beers. This is from a dataset hosted on kaggle.
Someone with some interest in american craft beer, probably at least knows what some of the types are.
bitterness and alcohol percentage are enough to cluster some types of beer.
Looking for trends of like colors, you can notice how many of them clump together.
It is better in these cases to do the extra work if possible. Fitting a GMM to this data could give some interesting results. The next challenge is plotting level sets of the gaussian distributions, which I don’t yet know in R.
bubble plots can give a third dimension to the data of a scatter plot by scaling individual points.
area scatter charts can reduce the amount of data plotted by grouping big clumps together, can be good for extremely large data sets.
A step above that is a heat map, which works well for large datasets, but can be trickier with multiple classes.
Simply plotting ABV vs IBU in a number of popular styles of beer. The results were not too intriguing. Unfortunately, the data itself is low dimensional and lacks any ratings or interesting features to compare against.

People Speak
SFC Foundation is truly an aid to the decrepit. How wonderful it is to see these young bloods running for the protection of those people who are long forgotten and secreted. Though changing and reviving lives is difficult but not an impossible work. Keep up the good work!
Dr Sukhwinder Jeet Singh
S.M.O. Civil Hospital Rajpura
SFC Foundations is an epitome of knowledge and gives path of enlightenment to the underprivileged children and also to the other sections of society. It brings a smile to each person and teaches the art of living.
Mr. Dinesh Sood
Teacher
SFC is a center of excellence that provides intensive education and knowledge to the under privileged children’s which helps them to the understand the world in a better way. When I personally went to one of the Event, it was really blissful to see those smiling and blooming faces.
CS Misha Dhawan
In this cruel, brutish world, all we need is sensitivity. And its remarkable to see these efforts from the Youth of our Country. They are the ones who can actually make a change and SFC Foundation has already set its benchmarks high with them. Their unique approach in solving problems of the needy ones is extremely beautiful.
Ms. Meenu Gupta

Intern Speak
Sfc foundations through internships helped me to increase my confidence level and allowed me to take active participation amongst the poor section of the society at large. It was really an amazing experience full of fun, learning, and joy.
– Rishabh Jain
The internship under SFC was an enriching experience for me, which ended up with a feeling of accomplishment as it gave me the opportunity to contribute for the betterment of the society and skill-building opportunities for myself as well!
- Piyush
The SFC Internship has empowered me to serve others, to enlighten them and to help & heal humanity. Our challenge is to balance between serving ourselves and serving others and be a responsible citizen to strive for social justice, equality and serve humanity. SFC has provided an opportunity to address that challenge!
- Himanshu Pathak
It's a pleasure to work with SFC Foundations during the internship. This internship gave me the opportunity to serve the needy and I can confidently say that I wouldn't have grown and learnt as much as I have during the internship. Thanks for this incredible experience and I wish the team all the best for future endeavours.
- Ankita Marya
SFC has helped me in the development of a good character and increased my ability to work in real-time environment as it gave me an opportunity to interact with the needy beings of society.

Attention {{ agency_name }} Users,
The following file(s) were added to {{ request_id }} and are private:


Model
The model API provides convenient high-level interface to do training and predicting on a network described using the symbolic API.
#
MXNet.mx.AbstractModel
— Type.
AbstractModel
The abstract super type of all models in MXNet.jl.
#
MXNet.mx.FeedForward
— Type.
FeedForward
The feedforward model provides convenient interface to train and predict on feedforward architectures like multi-layer MLP, ConvNets, etc. There is no explicitly handling of time index, but it is relatively easy to implement unrolled RNN / LSTM under this framework (TODO: add example). For models that handles sequential data explicitly, please use TODO...
#
MXNet.mx.FeedForward
— Method.
FeedForward(arch :: SymbolicNode, ctx)
Arguments:
arch
: the architecture of the network constructed using the symbolic API.ctx
: the devices on which this model should do computation. It could be a singleContext
or a list ofContext
objects. In the latter case, data parallelization will be used for training. If no context is provided, the default contextcpu()
will be used.
#
MXNet.mx.predict
— Method.
predict(self, data; overwrite=false, callback=nothing)
Predict using an existing model. The model should be already initialized, or trained or loaded from a checkpoint. There is an overloaded function that allows to pass the callback as the first argument, so it is possible to do
predict(model, data) do batch_output
# consume or write batch_output to file
end
Arguments:
self::FeedForward
: the model.data::AbstractDataProvider
: the data to perform prediction on.overwrite::Bool
: anExecutor
is initialized the first time predict is called. The memory allocation of theExecutor
depends on the mini-batch size of the test data provider. If you call predict twice with data provider of the same batch-size, then the executor can be potentially be re-used. So, ifoverwrite
is false, we will try to re-use, and raise an error if batch-size changed. Ifoverwrite
is true (the default), a newExecutor
will be created to replace the old one.verbosity::Integer
: Determines the verbosity of the print messages. Higher numbers leads to more verbose printing. Acceptable values are -0
: Do not print anything during prediction -1
: Print allocation information during prediction
Note
Prediction is computationally much less costly than training, so the bottleneck sometimes becomes the IO for copying mini-batches of data. Since there is no concern about convergence in prediction, it is better to set the mini-batch size as large as possible (limited by your device memory) if prediction speed is a concern.
For the same reason, currently prediction will only use the first device even if multiple devices are provided to construct the model.
Note
If you perform further after prediction. The weights are not automatically synchronized if overwrite
is set to false and the old predictor is re-used. In this case setting overwrite
to true (the default) will re-initialize the predictor the next time you call predict and synchronize the weights again.

, fit
, init_model
, and load_checkpoint
#
MXNet.mx._split_inputs
— Method.
Get a split of batch_size
into n_split
pieces for data parallelization. Returns a vector of length n_split
, with each entry a UnitRange{Int}
indicating the slice index for that piece.
#
MXNet.mx.fit
— Method.
fit(model::FeedForward, optimizer, data; kwargs...)
Train the model
on data
with the optimizer
.
model::FeedForward
: the model to be trained.optimizer::AbstractOptimizer
: the optimization algorithm to use.data::AbstractDataProvider
: the training data provider.n_epoch::Int
: default 10, the number of full data-passes to run.eval_data::AbstractDataProvider
: keyword argument, defaultnothing
. The data provider for the validation set.eval_metric::AbstractEvalMetric
: keyword argument, defaultAccuracy()
. The metric used to evaluate the training performance. Ifeval_data
is provided, the same metric is also calculated on the validation set.kvstore
: keyword argument, default:local
. The key-value store used to synchronize gradients and parameters when multiple devices are used for training. :type kvstore:KVStore
orSymbol
initializer::AbstractInitializer
: keyword argument, defaultUniformInitializer(0.01)
.force_init::Bool
: keyword argument, default false. By default, the random initialization using the providedinitializer
will be skipped if the model weights already exists, maybe from a previous call totrain
or an explicit call toinit_model
orload_checkpoint
. When this option is set, it will always do random initialization at the begining of training.callbacks::Vector{AbstractCallback}
: keyword argument, default[]
. Callbacks to be invoked at each epoch or mini-batch, seeAbstractCallback
.verbosity::Int
: Determines the verbosity of the print messages. Higher numbers leads to more verbose printing. Acceptable values are -0

MXNet.mx.init_model
— Method.
init_model(self, initializer; overwrite=false, input_shapes...)
Initialize the weights in the model.
This method will be called automatically when training a model. So there is usually no need to call this method unless one needs to inspect a model with only randomly initialized weights.
Arguments:
self::FeedForward
: the model to be initialized.initializer::AbstractInitializer
: an initializer describing how the weights should be initialized.overwrite::Bool
: keyword argument, force initialization even when weights already exists.input_shapes
: the shape of all data and label inputs to this model, given as keyword arguments. For example,data=(28,28,1,100), label=(100,)
.
#
MXNet.mx.load_checkpoint
— Method.
load_checkpoint(prefix, epoch, ::mx.FeedForward; context)
Load a mx.FeedForward model from the checkpoint prefix, epoch and optionally provide a context.
#
MXNet.mx.train
— Method.

Write a value in TLV format with the specified TLV tag.
val can be a Python object which will be encoded as follows:
- Python bools, floats and strings are encoded as their respective TLV types.
- Python ints are encoded as unsigned TLV integers if zero or positive; signed TLV
integers if negative.
- None is encoded as a TLV Null.
- bytes and bytearray objects are encoded as TVL byte strings.
- Mapping-like objects (e.g. dict) are encoded as TLV structures. The keys of the
map object are expected to be tag values, as described below for the tag argument.
Map values are encoded recursively, using the same rules as defined for the val
argument. The encoding order of elements depends on the type of the map object.
Elements within a dict are automatically encoded tag numerical order. Elements
within other forms of mapping object (e.g. OrderedDict) are encoded in the
object's natural iteration order.
- Sequence-like objects (e.g. arrays) are written as TLV arrays. Elements within
the array are encoded recursively, using the same rules as defined for the val
argument.
tag can be a small int (0-255), a tuple of two integers, or None.
If tag is an integer, it is encoded as a TLV context-specific tag.
If tag is a two-integer tuple, it is encoded as a TLV profile-specific tag, with
the first integer encoded as the profile id and the second as the tag number.
If tag is None, it is encoded as a TLV anonymous tag.

Whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14
Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Gentleness. Goodness. Faith. Meekness. Temperance. Powerful forces the Bible calls the fruit of the Spirit. They're the character traits of God Himself and when the Holy Spirit came to dwell in you, He brought them with Him, so they could become your character traits too.

 When it's shooting that water up, the force of its own outflow protects it and keeps it clear of any impurities from the outside. Well, the spiritual fountain within you works the same way. When you're allowing the forces of love and joy and peace and gentleness and all the others to flow out, the devil can't get any of his junk in.
How do you keep the Spirit flowing? You pump your heart so full of the Word of God that the forces of eternal life start bubbling out. Just a little at first...and then stronger and higher.
Choose to keep those forces streaming out of the fountain of your heart. Refuse to let selfishness and sin stop the flow.  Let it flow! Scripture Reading: Jeremiah 17:7-13

Buffalo '66 (1998)
Seen on 26 June 1998 with Laura, Michele, and Rob at the Angelika.
The tagline for *Buffalo '66* says, "Billy Brown just got out of jail. Now he's going to serve some real time. He's going home." This is pretty accurate. But along the way he kidnaps Layla (Christina Ricci) along the way to pose as his wife. Billy (Vincent Gallo) has never let his parents know that he was in jail for seven years. He's masqueraded as on-the-go guy with a top secret job, and it's interesting to see why. When we do meet his parents, they are thrilled to meet the total stranger posing as their "daughter-in-law" and completely distant with their son. It's hard to figure out why he wants their approval. His mother (the unbilled Anjelica Houston) is obsessed with the 1966 Super Bowl that the Buffalo Bills lost because she was giving birth to Billy; his father (Ben Gazzara) is a cruel, sadistic jerk who grabs at his new "daughter-in-law" leacherously whenever possible. Well, I guess you only get one set of parents and they are supposed to love you and give you there approval. Unless they're insane. Then you figure out a few things, forgive your parents, and move on.
But not our Billy.
What makes *Buffalo '66* interesting and funny is the hyperbolic reactions Billy has toward just about everything. He is clearly a loser going nowhere, yet watching him freak out and talk to himself is very entertaining. There is something unusual in this; it's not quite schadenfreude, but it's not innocent either. It's hard not to feel superior to Billy as we discover how he's clung to little incidents in his life and magnified them in to defining moments. It's also not hard to feel sorry for him when you see what his parents are like.
What is completely mysterious is why Layla is not trying to get away from Billy as fast as she can. We don't get to know too much about her or her motivation, or lack thereof. Her character is there to make Billy more human with an open heart and devotion. But why is she doing it?

Vincent Gallo, who is famous for something, what I am not sure, directed, wrote and starred in this movie, where he is basically working out his own family issues. He also wrote some forgettable original music for the film. He was even outside the Angelika the night we went to see the movie. He's everywhere you are, whether you like it or not. Gallo was recently reported to have berated and threaten critics who panned the film as less than stunning; he's gone off about critics only like movies with gay characters. In a completely self-aggrandizing moment, he is cruised in the bathroom by a man who, as Gallo scripted it, cannot take his eyes off Billy's member because "it's so big."
Meanwhile Gallo is also quoted as saying he's slept with men and hustled.
So, go see *Buffalo '66*. You'll enjoy it. Just don't get caught one-on-one with Gallo in a men's room or pan his movie. You might regret it.

title: Feedback from Newcastle
date: 2012-10-24
time: "09:00:00"
tags: ["Assessment"]
---
This week the Digital Institute at Newcastle University with The Software Sustainability Institute ran a second bootcamp at Newcastle University. This bootcamp was run for attendees from the North East of England, from whom there was demand after the first Newcastle bootcamp, back in May.
Feedback from the attendees was good though some wanted more time or detail on specific subjects. The most popular comment was the desire to have the slides and instructor scripts available so that attendees could catch up if they fell behind the instructor. The other major challenge, again, was Cygwin. We may want to provide a VM for attendees who typically use Linux but have a Windows laptop.
Here are the comments from the attendees, helpers and instructors, good and bad...
Good
- Wide range of languages.
- More confidence in using shell.
- Could follow along with everything.
- Good to be introduced to Cygwin.
- Really liked the post-it notes.
- Automated testing could be really useful.
- Useful to have Python and sqlite.
- Learned a lot about version control and sqlite.
- Can now keep track of how my thesis is progressing using Mercurial.
- Liked sqlite. Will use in my research.
- Demonstrators were extremely helpful.
- bootcamp overall has a nice "plot".
|
Bad
- Helpful to have been given the slides to go through.
- Useful to put the code and the slides online before the bootcamp.
- Could have done with a crib sheet.
- A handout in case you are delayed so you can follow that.
- Difficult to keep up with the pace of the exercises. Had not always completed one before the next started.
- Sometimes the exercise did not have a progression in difficulty, e.g. the square overlap could be broken up more.
- Suggest the overlapping lines solution before the attendees implement the function so they come away thinking about TDD and not the solution to the problem (Instructor).
- Python was a bit elementary.
- Hoping for more Python.
- Would liked a bit longer in revision control.
- More shell examples, less shell commands.
- Instructor should pause before pressing RETURN when entering a command as sometimes the command disappears off screen.
- Crib sheets are a bit long - need to shorten (Instructor)
- Provide a VM for attendees who typically use Linux but have a Windows laptop.

Short-term rates close stable on Bank Negara’s operations
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — Short-term interbank rates ended stable today on Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) operations to absorb surplus liquidity from the financial system.
The surplus in the conventional system declined to RM27.09 billion from RM31.29 billion this morning, while in the Islamic system, it slipped to RM8 billion from RM12.20 billion.
Earlier today, the central bank conducted three conventional money market tenders, an Islamic range maturity auction Qard tender and one Bank Negara Interbank Bills (BNIB).
At 4pm, BNM conducted a RM26.6 billion conventional money market tender and a RM8.0 billion Murabahah money market tender, both for one-day money.
The average Islamic overnight interest rate stood at 2.96 per cent, while the one-week, two and three-week rates were pegged at 3.03 per cent, 3.07 per cent and 3.12 per cent, respectively. — Bernama

THE CHAMBER A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1996 Scott Renshaw
Grade: C- // Skip It
(Universal)
Director: James Foley. Screenplay: William Goldman, Chris Reese. Producers: John Davis, Brian Grazer, Ron Howard. Starring: Chris O'Donnell, Gene Hackman, Faye Dunaway, Lela Rochon, Robert Prosky.
MPAA Rating: R (violence, profanity) Running Time: 113 minutes.
Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
In the adaptation of John Grisham's THE CHAMBER, Gene Hackman plays Sam Cayhall, a dyed-in-the-wool, Confederate-flag-waving Klansman on death row after being convicted of a 1967 racially-motivated bombing which left two children dead. His grandson Adam Hall (Chris O'Donnell), a Chicago attorney, has arrived in Mississippi in an attempt to pull off a last-minute appeal even though prospects appear dim. As the film nears its climax, Sam makes the long walk to the death watch cell past other prisoners, and one by one we see and hear them wishing Sam well. This includes several black prisoners, one of whom offers Sam a peace sign.
I may be no expert in the brotherhood of death row, but I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that there may be no love lost between black inmates and an inmate who uses a certain "n" word with unapologetic frequency. Yet THE CHAMBER depends on such warm fuzziness when it comes to matters of race, because its thinking is equally fuzzy. Sam Cayhall may be Klan, the script suggests, but he's good people; after all, he tells his black guard (erstwhile pro baseball and football star Bo Jackson) that he doesn't mean it personally when he refers to "your people," and writes a letter to the mother of the boys who died in the explosion. More to the point, as Adam contends in his appeal, Sam had no choice but to be a racist because of how he was raised. It is one of THE CHAMBER's many bits of convenient ignorance that Adam makes his plea with absolute earnestness, despite the fact that his own father suffered and struggled not to turn out like Sam.
Of course, it may be that Chris O'Donnell knew no other way to make that speech, because earnestness is the only emotional pitch in which he seems capable of performing. THE CHAMBER may toss around ideas about racism, the politics of criminal justice and corruption in high places -- all pet peeves of Grisham's, if his oeuvre is any indication -- but ultimately it really comes down to the face-offs between Hackman and O'Donnell, and man oh man but O'Donnell is wrestling out of his weight class. There may be no more inconsequential actor in American films than Chris O'Donnell, a pretty boy who makes you want to re-evaluate Keanu Reeves as a multi-shaded thespian. Watching O'Donnell try to drag an inner life out of Adam Hall is like watching a puppy try to play Macbeth.
Then there is Gene Hackman, an actor with the ability to make you sit through nonsense like this just for the chance to watch him do his thing. In many of his early scenes he is simply marvelous, tearing into Adam with the practiced disdain of a man who has spent his life figuring out why everyone else is responsible for his own misery. His best moment comes in a scene where he describes to Adam the death of another inmate in the gas chamber, the horror of his likely fate sinking in with every word. It is a really little more than a piece of anti-death penalty propaganda, but Hackman sells it with such conservation of emotion that it doesn't feel as obvious as it should. He makes that speech a statement about the feelings of his character, which is the mark of a superior actor: the words he speaks are his.
It is a shame then that Sam is obliged to turn into just the grandfatherly sort he mocked Adam for believing him to be. Films about condemned killers have been all the rage lately, but THE CHAMBER is both the most weightless and the most subtly offensive of them all, because it is so disingenuous in its portrayal of Sam. As the film progresses, it seems that we are supposed to feel sorry for Sam, a man raised on racism who has been set up to take the fall for a crime in which he may not have been the key participant.  The fact that we are expected to root for Sam to get his appeal because he may not have committed the _particular_ murder for which he was convicted is enough to make you shiver when you think of Sam's line that the Klan "should have stuck to the niggers." THE CHAMBER is a film which poses at social consciousness, then casts a black actress (Lela Rochon) in the female lead only to strip the character of her romantic relationship with Adam. Gene Hackman is interested only in making Sam Cayhall human; THE CHAMBER wants to make him lovable, to use racism as an incendiary plot device then shrug it off as Sam makes his last long walk, ready to do everything but shout "Power to the people!"
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 chamber pots: 4.
