Hollywood for Soderbergh, but still Soderbergh

Rating: Null/10 (21 March 2000)

EB is courtroom drama crafted in an interesting way; yes, it still maintains the cutesy, feel good scenes that one may expect from a David and Goliath story, but there are wisps of strange ironic humor (a trademark of Soderbergh's) that punctuate the entire film. Having said that, it's no Schizopolis. And there's hardly any courtroom in the film, which is wonderful. The film is entertaining, well written, and will make you happier for having had watched it. It's well worth your money. Now let's see what this prolific director will do with Oceans 11 . . ..
