Soderbergh's latest flick is even, entertaining and not without a few twists that make for a sweet ending.
Rooney Mara was steady in her delivery, as was Jude Law...I'd forgotten how enjoyable he is to watch. Catherine Zeta-Jones was too over-the-top for me but glammy enough to pay attention to. Channing Tatum was barely there, but enough to hold my attention. What might hold your attention, whatever your predilection, is the girl-on-girl action. Wait for it - it's good.
As with most Soderbergh flicks, he provides a realistic, intimate look into relationships and doesn't hold back much - there are some steamy scenes that bring to life what might otherwise feel like a character study.
The plot twists aren't too heavy handed, and there's some foreshadowing to help get you there.
All in all, a fine film to spend an afternoon with.
