A great premise that never really follows through as well as it should. It always feels like the story is being built up for something great but ultimately fails to deliver. The pacing gets slow at points but is generally even.
Well acted by all and well directed. Very well made overall. A light but emotional (due to Joseph Gordon-Levitts great performance) thriller.
What the hell happens to Isla Fishers character half way through?
Score: 3 notebook pages (out of 5)
A slick slapshot of dialogue:
"You know, here I am, sitting at home alone every night while you're out getting blown and God knows what else by Luvlee something, who probably has a friend, and what, you don't introduce me?"
"Lemons. That's what it is."
"That's what what is?"
"That's her last name."
"Luvlee Lemons? That's her name?"
"Well, it's her stage name. She's a performer. Or she was."
"Ah, and by stage I'm assuming you mean the kind with a pole?"
"What do you mean?"
"Let's move on."
Scott Frank jotted it in his notebook and stuck it in front of a camera
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Matthew Goode, Jeff Daniels and Isla Fisher started at the end
