I saw this film last night in my room and had been wanting to see it for the longest time, mainly because everyone I spoke to kept urging me to see it. I got that chance and I found myself asking one question: Should this have been nominated for Best Picture? I will answer it by saying "probably not," just because I felt as though the entire movie did not hold my complete attention as it should have. I got lost during some of the dialogue and had to rewind several times to pick up what I missed. That and the plot was becoming too convoluted for me. However do not get me wrong; George Clooney does a fantastic job acting in this picture and Tom Wilkinson is great in everything he does and not forgetting Best Supporting Actress Tilda Swinton winning that award for this film.
The idea is a little different as it adds a few new elements to the crime genre. It is a court case drama with a couple of thrills thrown in, even though it never takes place in court. And as I previously mentioned before, all the actors did an outstanding job which made me appreciate the film but what really won me over was the ending, which I will leave for you to check it out, if you haven't already done so. But in the end, this film is definitely worth the rent if you want to see a new side to the element of crime.
