One has no problem praising the bravura acting of the entire ensemble.
Among Soderbergh's widely varied films ("sex, lies and videotape," "Kafka," "The Underneath," "Schizopolis," "Out of Sight"), this one actually has the best chance of becoming anyone's sentimental favorite.
In its quiet and murderous way, it is like the delayed final act of an old movie about drugs, guns and revenge.
A solid genre film that offers the satisfactions of the familiar while deriving its resonance through its specific and telling references to the '60s.
One of those movies in which pacing, dialogue and the right actors enliven a familiar story.
Intoxicatingly well-crafted entertainment about hunting down your enemy.
