"I went into this not expecting much but was quite surprised. The main actor does a great job on well in his role. I also really like the dialogue he gave as well. For first time ever the music really added a lot to the film. It was also quite good as well."

"Such an interesting and well-made film! Strong screenplay paired with efficient storytelling, dynamic score, and a commanding lead performance by Terence Stamp. I was especially intrigued by the editing style here, jumping back and forth between multiple locations and showing the main character’s state of mind at a given moment. Another great showcase of Steven Soderbergh’s adaptability. Highly recommended.
PS: The fact that Steven Soderbergh made this right after OUT OF SIGHT and followed this film up with ERIN BROCKOVICH, TRAFFIC, and OCEAN’S ELEVEN back-to-back (winning the Oscar for TRAFFIC along the way) makes this one of the more remarkable streaks for a director I’ve ever seen."
