I was surprised and not surprised to see so many negative reviews of this film. Surprised because I thoroughly enjoyed the film, and not surprised because I can see how its art-house fare wouldn't appeal to fans of "Traffic" and "Out of Sight" and so forth. However, the acting in the film was phenomenal and very realistic, it makes you feel as though you're watching a documentary. There are also a number of hilarious moments in the film, specifically with Catherine Keener and Nicky Katt's performances. Cheers.
