shot in Soderbergh's soft focus and I am not sure what else he does to give a film his signature, maybe the distance of the people in the shot but overall this was interesting and smart and (in the end) fun but not great.

thanks Mr Grits, good call

btw I thought Rooney's performance overshadowed her (considerable) beauty

  Just saw it again and it was so consistent I wonder if it was done in post-production? It seemed to give it a slight "fine art" touch.
  - seems like he uses that effect in all his films, I was wondering if it is the effect of actual film vs digital - PhilJ 12:45:42 02/12/13 (0)

and enjoy

  ...Saw it tonite and was really entertained. The cast is great and well suited to the story. I also liked the soundtrack and especially how dialogue w/o background music was interspersed with dialogue w/music. Leads to tension and effectively supplements the story.
  
  I think I'm going to see it again just to pick up on the clues I missed first time around and check for continuity for the things that lead to the mildly surprising end.

    but I think I'll pay a bargain Tuesday visit to refresh.

        1. I dont want to let out any spoilers just yet for others who plan to see it this week.
        2. I want to see it again to make sure I really did get it before going on record.
        
        Hints: think insider trading, selling short on some stocks, going long on others and a fiendishly elaborate stock price manipulation scheme requiring long term role playing mixed in with forbidden love. Innocent bystanders get sucked in to make it all work. Hope I didn't give it all away...
        
        Note that the Java thing is not specific to the linked website but a general recommendation from DHS of all places due to major security issues with Java.

      ...and yeah, I'm looking to catch a low cost matinee on Wed just in case there's something more to see. No great loss if there isn't: it'll still be entertaining.
