First off, this is a quality movie. The acting by Chris Evans is nothing to write home about but it's the best he's done so he gets a pat on the back, and Jason Statham as "Bateman" is one of the funniest characters i've seen in a movie. Statham revives his sarcastic attitude from Lock Stock, and Snatch to fit the personality of a stressed out, paranoid, coke head. The flow of this movie is very well done making it sometimes slow and sentimental, and then every time someone does a line it speeds up as the brain cells explode! The Crystal Method soundtrack goes well, and in the end of the day it doesn't hurt to sit and reflect on the fact that the whole movie took place at one party, on one night, and the majority of it; in one bathroom at that party. On another note, the movie has beautiful women in spades so for those who do not enjoy the comedic male performances can have something to looks at :) The acting by Jessica Biel is not much either but she has a very small role, considering her name is the title of the film. I'd say the weakest points of this film are the flashback sequences to when Sid and London were still dating. Those seemed to me, to be dry and just plane stressful. I as a viewer, having a connection with a fictional character appreciate Sid much more when he's stoned out of his mind and not in a relationship. All around good movie, decent acting, 7 out of ten. Bam!
