Steven Soderbergh does it again

Rating: 6/10 (22 March 2000)

I wasn't going to see this film - there was too much about Julia Roberts' breasts in the trailer - but I just watched the Limey the other day and a generally reliable friend told me that Erin Brockovich was really good so what are you gonna do?
It was pretty good. I think I liked the Limey better because it was more interesting looking and had Terence Stamp - sorry but Julia is no Terence.

You really can't go wrong with a script based on a true story - at least not if the story is interesting. Erin Brockovich is everything A Civil Action wanted to be.
The absolutely terrifying thing about this film is at some point I thought just how many times do we have to hear these stories about big companies killing off the little people in the world. It makes a person scared to trust anyone or anything.
Anyway - great story. Thank God for film makers like Soderbergh who know that story and character is what it is all about.
