This attitude In exploring this new territory, Segato has encountered her share of anxiety and fear. Regardless, she feels that any doubts she experiences are a real motiâ€" vating factor in her music and result in a deeper commitment to herself and to her work. Her debut solo album, Phoenix, gives little indication of that apprehension. It is full of energetic and optimistic tunes that show just what Segato is all about. "If we had stuck around it probably would have gone down with a lot of negativity," says Segato. She never wanted to see the band get to that point.

The movie opens with a reunion. Terry (Sean Penn), who used to live in the neighborhood, has been on the road for a few years. Now he‘s back in town and embracing his best friend Jackie (Gary Oldman) in one of the sleazy saloons where gangsters and winos seem to be the only customers. Crime in this neighborhood is a family affair. The Irish gang is led by Jackie‘s older brother Frankie (Ed Harris), who has moved to the suburbs and calls the shots from his middleâ€"class house on a treeâ€"lined street, far from the drug deals that pay his mortgage.

Gary Oldman‘s performance in the movie is the best thing about it. Sean Penn is just as good an actor, but he has himself. He also likes to hold target practice up on the roof.

Although the gang‘s main business seems to be selling drugs, Frankie is willing to pull some jobs simply as a civic service. For example, he takes Terry along one night when he burns down a construction office on a site that will soon be a yuppie apartment building. Frankie is probably crazy, or maybe his mind has been completely addled by the drugs and booze he has channeled through it. His idea of making arson into tread gingerly around some of the details.

There‘s another problem. This movie, imtended as a gritty sliceâ€"ofâ€"life about gangsters in New York City, is being released at about the same time as vengeance and fear. His character doesn‘t have to do the fancy footwork. There are moments in the film that are absolutely chilling â€" as when Ed Harris, who wanted to be at arm‘s length from the crimes committed for his profit â€" finds that he has to personally kill someone he loves. But the movie‘s plot paradoxically gets less and less original, the more complicated it becomes. At the outset, when it seems concerned only with the behavior of its characters, it‘s original and challenging. Then it turns the lead, and there‘s not as much he can do with it. He has to be sane and tortured and conflicted, and battle with his opposing emotions. All standard screenplay stuff. Oldman‘s character is more pure.
