George Clooney as director!

Rating: 7/10 (4 November 2007)

This movie is lovely and it contains very much details for the viewer, but what I miss is a intrinsic controversial storyline which raises the subject to a higher level of human thoughts. The fact that George Clooney played in this movie gives the story a little bit of more popularity, but I doubt if this was needed. In my opinion the story became more fiction, than reality. Which had a negative effect on the quality of the movie. For the George Clooney fans it was enough to see a film directed and partly written by George Clooney, to see Clooney also on the screen was too much. Not because of the quality of the acting, just because of the fact that if you want to be a director, just be a director and don't be an actor also. Because this doesn't give the comfort to believe that George Clooney is a good director: which he is. Beside of that I think he could do it better if he didn't act as well. This fact shows actually that Clooney does 'love' acting more than directing! What indeed is logically, but he really should make another controversial movie in future... I look forward to watch a new Clooney-directed movie!
