'Butterfly' is a frustrating spy thriller with a few too many twists

The great Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg once told me that the problem with movie sex scenes is that the movie just stops while we watch the actors have sex. I feel that way about action scenes, especially on TV. Although a handful of directors can make them thrilling Kathryn Bigelow, Jackie Chan, George Miller I nearly always find myself waiting for the chase to end or the gunfire to die down so we can get back to the story.
