The narrative is kind of interesting, although over-scripted. Are we allowed to have a simple through line without all the convolutions these days?
But my big question is about the wide angle lens. It seems like every single scene uses the same weird aspherical effect. I get it every now and then to amp up the paranoid feel, but every single shot? They couldn't afford a real DP?
Considering it was shot on digital RED, is it even a wide angle lens or just the wide angle digital effect filter applied after the fact? I think Mr. Soderbergh needs to consider the idea that his audience has both eyes and a brain, working at the same time.
