Feat. George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, Tobey Maguire

Aroview: Dir. Steven Soderbergh takes another extravagant artistic punt with this meticulous pastiche of 1940's war stories, shot not only in black’n’white but using vintage 1940s studio equipment!

George Clooney and Cate Blanchett are the modern-day Bogart and Bergman in a lush, sweeping story of romance and intrigue based on the best-selling crime novel by Joseph Kanon. A little too self-infatuated and referential to really engage dramatically, this is more likely to reward students of film and fans of the constantly surprising Soderbergh. For others, there's always the real thing; THE THIRD MAN, CASABLANCA et al.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) Nice to see back-projection in a modern film, but it doesn't really add up to much. Like the Aroview says, there's always the real thing... ~HiFi
