Clive Owen owned this one.

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2004)

I got the pleasure of attending a screening tonight of the film and I might as well comment on it. Overall, I did enjoy the film. No, Natalie Portman doesn't get naked. The acting was great and I have never found Clive Owen so perfect. The lies and slime of the characters keep you watching with wide eyes. Sometimes the film tries a little too hard, ending up being overly dramatic. I don't think comedy was needed during heated arguments between the characters, but it definitely doesn't ruin the film. The most enjoyable thing is to see the characters set themselves up for downfall further down the road. Overall, this was a good film with great acting. 7/10
