Rooney Mara, Jude Law d/ Steven Soderbergh
Intelligent, gripping psychological thriller/mystery with a compelling performance by Ms Mara. She is required by the script to continually shade her character...revealing a bit more at a time as the circumstances of this complicated plot slowly unravel.
Soderbergh has said this is his last film. We'll see. If it is he goes out with a solid, professional effort which combines the best of his 'independent' films and the audience appeal of his commercial work. My only quibble here was the casting of Catherine Zeta-Jones as a supporting character. I found her beauty distracting and unnecessary...would have preferred someone more real-looking like Mira Sorvino.
Still, this was a good one and a nice cap to his career.
