Another one for the masses...

Rating: Null/10 (21 April 2000)

For a director whose stated aim is to make "mainstream movies with an independent sensibility", it's disappointing that Steven Soderbergh should have turned in a movie so obviously steeped in mainstream sensibilities after all, especially after the excellent "Out of Sight".

Taking a legal drama away from the courtrooms does not necessarily make it ground-breaking, especially when it relies on such manipulative feel-good, crowd-pleasing tactics. Roberts may have been very accurate in her portrayal of the real live character, but she was still annoying and predictable.
Disappointing, unless you like to go with the flow.
