Clever entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2006)

This is an example of very clever entertainment, REALLY entertaining without demanding of audiences to be stupid. This is essential in a time like this, when all sort of mediocre entertainers (?) are promoted as the next big thing... Steven Soderbergh (and is pal George Clooney) is an important personality in the dynamics of Hollywood today, and also inside the independent field. Because that's his strategy: to be all around, not afraid to deal with big AND small budgets, big stars AND completely unknown actors. That's why, since "Sex, Lies and Videotape", he keeps doing "minor" and remarkable movies like "Bubble". I can't wait for "Ocean's Thirteen".
