Not as good as the material it references, but a loving tribute to a bygone film style nonetheless. Excellent use of stock footage & rear screen projection give it a great period feel. If the storytelling had been a bit more cohesive I'd give it a higher rating, but It's another solid, entertaining outing from Soderberg and Clooney. Highly recommended to Alky, Neverending, Crabby & Newb...Zwoti might dig it too.

7.5/10

Good movie. I m glad you got around to watching it. The plot was excellent, but it needed a bit more directional touchê to be a true modern classic.:cool:
