Jericho Kevin Costner Costner is the titular bad guy, who is implanted with the memory of deceased CIA operative, Bill Pope Ryan Gosling—don't expect to see much of him as he dies early, and spends the better part of Criminal dealing with emotions new to him. It's a film rife with clichés but engaging largely because Costner is believable as a monster turned humanist. And the supporting cast is this thriller is rife with electronics the bad guy has hacked into the USA's military computer system, the humanism is what strikes me as satisfying not just Jericho's assuming Pope's affections but also Gary Oldman's CIA officer, Quaker Wells, sliding into a rage and Jordi Malla's head terrorist, Xavier, just being cool. I also must acknowledge that the growing affection between Jericho and Pope's widow, Jill Gal Gadot, is believable if not just as improbable as their planting her deceased husband's thoughts and memories in thrillers like Criminal, we've seen before the action sequences with vulnerable helicopters, racing cop cars, and ominous computer screens. What we haven't seen much of is a bad-boy hero who captures our sympathy immediately so that we care what happens to him regardless of the mayhem he causes in his journey. Costner has the stature and mien to carry this ambiguous hero right into our hearts."You don't remember me but I remember you," says young daughter, Emma Pope Lara Decaro. Out of the mouths of babes come wisdom and the hope of love for a soulless murderer whose life is transformed by modern technology. Who would have thought technology could grant humanity?
