09.05.11 | Netflix | Not really sure why this movie is populated with comedians. Maybe Soderbergh thought that just seeing their familiar faces on screen would make the movie funny? Or maybe he just wanted to ensure a fun time shooting? Who Knows. It doesn't really work here, but then again the whole movie never quite works. It's also a weird choice to do the super 70s-era font for the on-screen title cards when the movie takes place in the early 90s. And I don't know if it's the lighting or the lense choices or what but the movie "looks" older than early 90s too. All in all it's a really strange film that never feels comfortable with itself, which is a shame because I like everyone involved. Damon delivers a really good performance though, so there's that. |
