Still, despite the diminished characterisations and depth, Burns' screenplay, and Soderbergh's style manage to squeeze in a lot of material. It was compelling from the opening minutes (and I could listen to that score all day) and just a scary and very possible premise that has the capacity to create anxiety. Definitely a film of high-quality, and though it has received positive responses, I am surprised that few have praised it as much as you and I.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-45687455716777295452011-10-23T09:04:15.129+11:002011-10-23T09:04:15.129+11:00I loved the film (seen it twice now), and while I ...I loved the film (seen it twice now), and while I wish it had been longer and dealt with some of the issues you mentioed in more detail (Marion Cotillard was especially short-changed), I still found it absolutely amazing that they crammed so much detail into a mere 106 minutes. Just imagine if it had been a six part miniseries!<br /><br />Martinez's score is also now my favourite of the year.

Marion was underused, and apart from Winslet I didn't really connect with any. Still, a film this well crafted (cinematography, editing, score and performances) and possessing such a compelling and plausible central disaster, it's easy to forgive this aspect.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-92129301349713953302011-10-22T15:34:56.167+11:002011-10-22T15:34:56.167+11:00Movie scores on almost all counts.

Yeah, you thought the same about Cotillard's story? While I liked Martinez' score in Drive, I think this was superior work. <br /><br />@ NeverTooEarlyMP - Yeah, I didn't take it too seriously, but it did raise some questions about the influence that bloggers (if prolific enough) can have on public opinion and action.

And of course Kate Winslet is best in show, how could she not be? Sad that Cotillard wasn't well served though. Cliff Martinez also did the Drive soundtrack; dude's on a roll.D.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11517891007414596722noreply@blogger.com
