Ann, I can't quite put my finger on what was lacking in this movie. Like I said, the cast was great. I think the story was both convoluted but predictable. The dialogue was just ok. And so many of the scenes were shot with not much lighting. I'm glad I saw it. I would recommend it for its acting. It's like it had great potential but didn't quite live up to it.

I chose it from the library because of the extraordinary cast: Russel Crowe, Ben Affleck, Helen Mirran, Robin Wright and Jeff Daniels. In Rolling Stones magazine, Peter Travers called it a gripping thriller and Ebert called it a smart, ingenious thriller.
