A good movie

Already 2 years ago, Steven Soderbergh decided to retire which was too bad. I mean, it could have been nice if he could slow down a bit (he basically made 15 movies in 15 years before his retirement) but, to completely stop, that was rather extreme. Anyway,  this movie was actually made at a pivotal point in Soderbergh's career. Indeed, so far, he had been making some rather obscure and bairly seen indie features and, a year earlier, he had already started to change pace with 'Out of Sight'  starring George Clooney. A year later, he would release a double-bang with 'Erin Brockovich' and 'Traffic' and his career would never be the same anymore. Coming back to our main feature, it was still a rather obscure flick,  something much smaller with no big star and, to be honest, the plot was rather generic. However, this time, Soderbergh obviously didn't care much about the story, he was much more involved in the look, the mood and the style and I think it made the whole thing quite mesmerizing to behold. To conclude, even though it might not be a masterpiece, it was still a decent watch and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Steven Soderbergh's work.
