Denzel Washington did it in Training Day and won CONTRIBUTORS EARL DITTMAN the Oscar. Tom Hanks did it in SCOTT GARDNER Road to Perdition and earned SUSAN GRANGER solid reviews.

The question is, did it really HEAD OFFICE 416.539.8800 change their career paths in any GENERAL MANAGER ROBERT BROWN (ext. 232) way? For some, yes.

Now Cruise plays a hitman in Collateral, and despite his insistence in “Risky Business,” page 30, that this is a complicated ALBERTA 403.266.4412 character with many layers, let’s face it, the guy’s an executioner— WESTERN SALES MANAGER ELIZABETH D’ARTOIS a cold-blooded assassin.
