Although I will probably never watch this film again (for that matter I
don't know how it will age), it is certainly worth a look for the
stylized way it is filmed (almost like film noir). George Clooney did
an excellent job in his directorial debut, creating suspense and the
unknown. Was all this espionage stuff in Chuck Barris's mind or
was it real? Clooney's performance as the CIA agent is great. And I
really don't need to say how fantastic Sam Rockwell's performance
is! He has now become one of my new favourites (and that's not
because he appears naked in the film!)
