Hated this one. Slow, boring, and this is coming from someone who LOVES art films. This one had nothing to offer. Nothing happened until the final act. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Be Warned
*cough*bulls**t
Well I enjoyed it. Be prepared for a very depressing film though and one beautiful Italian woman.
Yeh i didnt like it at all. I was almost scared to post b/c sometimes with these films ppl will attack u for not liking them. Nothing to it, didnt care about ANYTHING that happened in it. Clooney was great in up in the air and fantastic mr fox tho
I didn't watch this, but I heard it was not a fast-paced thriller and it was more like a classic Melville film, which sounds right up my alley.
"one of the worst" Damn you internet kids and your hyperboles.

I still want to see this one and it should be more entertaining than the dragged out Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (friends were making fun of how many times a girl cried).
The only reason to watch this is for the T & A.
I disagree. Extremely well-made film. Clooney is superb in it. Will be picking this up for sure.
Nice movie btw

What happened to Universal releasing Blu-Ray/DVD combos?
I think it was reported months ago when they released the Bourne films in that format that future releases would be combos.
Just wondering if that was something planned and something changed.
Regarding this release, it looks like a good film. But it's something I think I'll wait for a price drop before I buy it.

It would've been so funny if that film was picked for Paolo.
Anyway, I've heard good things about this one, so it's definitely worth a rental.
