The opening scene

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2006)

Like the other contributor I'm no big fan of Julia, but she's good in this one and the movie is good too.
I especially like the scenes when she meets both the "good" and the "bad" hot-shoot lawyers. If the real Erin is this cool she's a babe.
Like the opening scene in "The Player" this film starts with an uncut one where Julia gets into her car and drives of, just to be hit by a Jag in the nearest crossing. Apparently done without any camera cuts. I do not expect that they put a multi-million dollar actress in the middle of a car crash and have been searching for film cuts in the sequence. There must be one and it must be when the car passes the camera and the door strut (is that the right word?) fills the picture. I have re-seen the sequence several times and it must be it.
