Rooney Mara just gets better with every film she is in, Jude Law top form too.
7/10
Thanks :rolleyes:
This!
What an inconsiderate thing to do OP.
Are they the reviews that have the big headline "Hey there's a twist in this film"?
saying there is a twist does ruin it for anyone going to see the film 'blind' to be fair. i mean the cast or reviewers or anyone letting people know there is a twist.
soderberg leads you to believe you're watching a anti pharms company film.. knowing it was actually a thriller ruined the surprise for me.
I too expected a story about evil pharmaceuticals but was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. I've come to expect twists (might as well expressly mention it as everyone else has ) with thrillers so wasn't surprised about that, but it was still a reasonably good one. I'll admit I got a little bit lost after the twist but but it all came together in the end. Not exactly groundbreaking, but a solid watch nonetheless. Totally worth it if you're a Rooney Mara fan.
8/10
He isn't in it all that much, if it helps.
The best thing about this movie is Rooney Mara, outstanding performance, brilliant actress.
Soderbergh somehow got his mojo back with this film after his average Magic Mike. I quite like the twist.
The score is a bit overdone on the other hand
Jude Law was very good. Rooney Mara was good up till the twist. Catherine Zeta Jones wasn't great ... and her face is clearly pumped full of botox. Something I find quite off-putting to look at.
A disappointing 6/10
Also does the ending actually improve Jude Law's character's reputation?
