...but the film failed to deliver on DVD. Firstly, I do not find Clooney dreamy. He's got a good hard-drinkin'/smokin' voice, but the only thing I have ever liked him in was Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? What's more, I'm getting tired of films that start just prior to the climax, then back track to the begining, then you have to go through the pre-climax all over with a fresh perspective so things 'fall into place'. That's just been so done. The style was amusing at first because there are initially unasnwered questions, but once the pieces are assembled, the ending is totally predictable. For me, it was all about Tilda, perhaps that's Oscar fallout, or more likely it's me hoping that Tilda does well and finished out the role of Jadis.
