finally saw this tonight. loved it. as said before, it really reminded me of the kinds of films that were being made in the 70's. it wasn't "whiz bang" (thankfully) and, man, it was beautifully shot. two thumbs way up.

It's funny you say that because the only times I noticed the cinematography were on shots that, IMHO, were self-indulgent.

Great move overall. Fantastic script. As good as Clooney and Swindon's performances were, Wilkinson just blew everybody out of the water.

Me too. I don't know what I was expecting, but it didn't really sync up with what I heard about the movie, plot-wise anyway. I was pleasantly surprised.

yeah looking back I enjoyed this more than just about anything I've seen in awhile. Just very solid.
