Great acting, great script

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2005)

This became immediately one of my favorite movies. I have never seen more clever and balanced acting than what Clive Owen performs. It alone made the movie worth watching. Law, Roberts and Portman are also very good, Portman particularly.
I find this to be the most honest movie about relationships I have ever seen.
The dialog is somewhat pretentious, but for me it always works. I recognize the way of speaking very much, as I think it belongs to my generation (I am 21). People are complaining that no one speaks like this, but I find them very wrong: I could easily speak that way! "Closer, I thank you sincerely for your honesty!"
