Looks like a winner, great cast.

Clooney has been simpatico in previous Cohen films. For me, seeing Pitt's name associated with any film is always cause for distress, but he looks promising in the trailer.

With the exception of The Ladykillers, them Cohens sure know what they're doing.

The Ritchie comedy, Snatch.

- Got to add in Kalifornia, Thelma and Louise - Road Warrior 10:04:36 07/15/08 (2)

    Sorry, the guy can't act. Well, maybe he can, but he can only play limited characters and he has no real range or depth. Same with Clooney.

- C O E N.... D'oh! No wonder I can never find info on them in net searches... - musetap 10:59:47 07/14/08 (3)
  T'was a long day yesterday was...
  
  Pitt has been decent in a few films, proportionately not-so-decent in so many more...
  
  I thought he stunk in Se7en, was good in Fight Club and Twelve Monkeys (which is what I type/spell like...).
  
  Haven't seen The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford...yet...

  - he was scary good in Jesse James - PhilJ 19:31:49 07/14/08 (2)
    his best work I think.
    
    I liked him in Twelve Monkeys too. I guess he was uncooperative with Terry Gilliam up until the first day of shooting and then nailed it, Gillim left him alone after that - Gilliam's words.
    thanks

    - that got good reviews here, I went to rent it and the cover - Duilawyer 19:30:02 07/15/08 (1)
      had NOTHING in the way of good reviews. Not one reviewer thought the movie was good. Or just a poor cover??

        Can't say this is the least bit surprising...
