Engaging and personal. The story runs a bit slow at times, with Spader’s bumbling dialogue almost bringing it all to a halt at times.
Soderbergh’s directing skills are apparent. The beginning of a successful and productive relationship with Cliff Martinez.
Although the acting is imperfect, the characters are great. Very simple, very real. I think the film would have been helped by casting a bigger star in one of the roles. Would have made a good Oscar vehicle.
Like Closer, a pretty good and somehow refreshing representation of how digusting people can really be.
