Review

a different kind of movie with a different kind of humor and an oddball score by the great marvin hamlisch to match. damon does a real good job with a one of a kind character. the writing and the inner dialogue create a unique and layered character that is both entertaining and, in the end, sad. the original story was the subject of a story on this american life. and it’s one of those truth is stranger than fiction stories. it’s also a story that reaffirms a fact that took me over 20 years to truly realize – everyone is just a person. we have high expectations of people like fbi agents or world leaders or whomever, but ultimately they are all able to be duped, they’re all fallible.

soderbergh does a great job in his career of balancing big and small films. this isn’t ocean’s 11, but it’s a bigger film with a bigger cast than his previous film, the girlfriend experience. well-balanced film that could end up in the top ten of the year.
