I can't say I really enjoyed this film all that much. The dialogue seems stilted and suffocating and the direction is fairly boring. The lighting crew was top-notch it seems, but obviously, that isn't enough to hold a film together or even make it better. William H. Macy is pretty entertaining, but some of the lines just don't "feel" right coming out of his mouth. There's some surprising performances pulled out of Bai Ling, Joe Mantagna and Julia Stiles, but again, these cameo roles are little gasps of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant film.
