Whether the typical tropes inserted by director Phillip Noyce are a feature or a bug is up for debate \u2014 we can think of one or two that the film could have gotten by without.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But Brosnan is difficult not to enjoy.<\/strong> His effortless charisma is almost nostalgic, making the over-familiarity of the film more of a fun watch than it may have been with another leading actor.

Millie, a dedicated Black resident assistant, assists Agatha, grappling with her own financial goals alongside her duties.

Between the two, the Gyoza was our favorite \u2014 since the Dim Sum needed an extra 5 minutes of steam to cook the glassy thin dough \u2014 but both flavors were up to par.
