Long, and awkward. Julia Roberts and Clive Owen are great but the story is much too convoluted. It starts out with you not knowing who to trust and you end up the exact same way. The random flashbacks don't help to speed up the pace or solidify exactly who or what the focus or the story should be.
posted by Joeyf1965 on Mar 20, 2009I agree with the comments long nd awkward. I have to admit to being tired of Julia Roberts (to me she's always the same), and the dialogue in this was too cryptic to follow. I couldn't work out what the story was actually about.

Loved it. Mature and interesting Julia Roberts. Movie-goers need to pay attention to the story. Not meant for those who like "Entertainment Made Easy." Keep coming with the smart writing and characters.
posted by Hootandnannie on Mar 26, 2009Boring and stupid. 3 of the 5 people who went to the movie with me actually fell asleep. Fell asleep! I've NEVER done that before. We ran into a friend after the film, and he said he was going home to take a nap. Who payed off the professional reviewers?
posted by Alice on Mar 28, 2009For people that like things basic and 1-2-3, a-b-c... this movie is NOT for you. You really have to already be a "think outside the box" type of person. One that already thinks complex, or else you won't get it. It was terrific and plain genius!
posted by Duplicitie on Mar 28, 2009Wonderful movie, lots of unexpected twists and the chemistry between julia and Clive is great! Anybody who falls asleep in this one is probably asleep most of the time.

posted by Awcabmqn on Jul 16, 2009It's a bit boring and not really interesting strategy of counterposition and an common and easy to guess ending.
