The closest was being referred to as a cat burglar. She actually had ears on during the charity ball. But your right, the wink by Nolen was the goggles.
Ebert summed the film up for me very well:
"the film begins slowly with a murky plot and too many new characters, but builds to a sensational climax."
I thought the first act was way to bloated. Other than that, I have no complaints. I cannot really point to anything in the beginning that needs to be cut. If only some of the plot points needed to be sped up a bit for my tastes.
I would love to argue that Hathaway deserves a best supporting actress nomination, but since she wasnt nominated for Love and Other Drugs where she was brilliant and naked half the time, I just cannot see the academy ever taking her serious for some reason.
