Having read some of the reviews and with a cast of first rate actors/actresses I thought I would be in for an entertaining evening - alas no - weak science - little characterization - emotionally flat - dealt with a number of themes but in no detail - almost cartoonish at times - it was however nicely shot - I left wondering what Soderbergh was trying to show me - yes it was pleasant not to watch Hollywood hyperbole but the trouble was there was nothing in its place - overall the very dull documentary approach left me cold - I think it must be Soderbergh's style as I didn't find Traffic very entertaining either. Would I recommend anyone to see it - if you liked Traffic probably - if not then you will find better entertainment elsewhere.
