I can't say that I completely lost interest, because I was forcing myself to maintain interest. Like JimBell said in his post [linky linky], I was looking forward to some noir goodness. Several stylistic elements are there, but I think Soderbergh just tried too hard.
Some of the plot points had potential, but the biggest distraction for me was the portrayal of George Clooney's character. Was he really a reporter? If so, what was he reporting and why didn't he ever take notes or type up stories? In fact, I was convinced that Clooney's character would reveal a dark secret about his background since it was so obvious that he was *not* a reporter brought to Germany by the US military.
Bah. I won't even recommend that you rent this.
