The Business of Strangers
When the three are in the hotel room together, it is obviously dark outside and the time is even stated at being "midnight". However, when the television is turned on, the news channel is running live stock quotes (something that would only happen during the day) and the time on the television reads "1:30PM",Julie: I've just been made Chief Executive Officer.
Nick: No shit. Congrats. Hey, we can leverage this for that Pacific Net job.
Julie: I thought you said they were about to go belly-up.
Nick: With all due respect, I wasn't talking to CEO material before.

Paula: OK.,Featured in Siskel & Ebert: Ocean's Eleven/The Business of Strangers/The Independent (2001),Stockard Channing has always been a terrific actress and her excellent performance comes as no surprise but Julia Stiles is also very good thanks to a thought provoking script. I've always had my suspicions about Stiles and here she shows she also has some good "Stuff". I hope she gets offered more films like this instead of the teenage fare where all that is needed is attitude. As good as Stiles is its still Channing's film. Youth cannot overcome experience, not here anyway.,
