Interesting but clumsy - By: , 11 Nov 2005
Not a bad movie, but not brilliant either. As a dyed-the-wool John Cusack fan I'm bound to say his performance was good, & it was, but certainly not his greatest. James Spader was good in the role of the 'good guy', something he tends not to do very often. The casting of both actors against their usual type did mean that I thought more about the plot/story than I might have done otherwise. Neither of these main characters is reallly bad nor reallly good, they are written reasonably well & are 'real'/human. Somehow there was something a bit clumsy about the film. Perhaps it was just the 80s setting viewed in the 00s or the fact that some of the character background was given clumsily...the bar scene where Cusack's character's history is revealed was not subtle at alll! Still a watchable film & interesting subject matter...maybe I enjoyed it more than my 3 star rating suggests...
