I'm trying hard to put my finger on what exactly I enjoyed about this movie... and coming to the realization that there's nothing especially outstanding. It's just that all the constituent pieces are well executed. It's a good movie, even a very good movie, but not a great one.

Very solid performances from all the main characters - Clooney is great as Clayton, (but then again, he's playing pretty much the same character he always plays in every movie - with the possible exception of O Brother).

Nothing is handed to you on a plate in this movie - you're required to infer an awful lot. Even the main character isn't terribly well fleshed out, and this can make it a little difficult to empathize with anyone.

Overall, I give it a 4. Worth a look.
