The film adaptation of one of the books of the "master of the American detective genre," Elmore Leonardo, may be considered the most successful. This unequivocal opinion has as its basis the following "tactical and technical characteristics": Steven Soderbergh, Elmore Leonardo, well, and, of course, George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. Of course, one could say that even such a fusion could have made a second-rate or third-rate movie, but it turned out to be what it was - one of director Steven Soderbergh's most romantic films.
The film's jagged and non-standard pace, as well as the somewhat banal plot (the trailblazer and the zk) divides the viewer into different categories: some will say "a frantic movie," for some, just boring, or "just a movie." But if you watch the film carefully or "properly" (as you should watch a movie, not interrupted by commercial breaks by rushing to the refrigerator, not distracted by children and household events), it becomes clear that this is not "just" a film, but one of the successful films about love, man and woman.
Is it possible to describe a movie in one episode? This one can. Cold Detroit, a hotel restaurant with a high-street view of the city at night, snow, a beautiful woman with a glass of bourbon, attention from men (the wrong men), sadness and fatigue. On wet inquests, there is always fatigue. But everything changes, he comes, unexpectedly and yet only him she was waiting for. The little flirtation ends with tense conclusions like, "that fictional Harry and Celeste have no future." But the evening ends, as it should, as all women like to do, as if it were all by itself - freezing frames to the rhythm of a surprisingly beautiful soundtrack and no vulgarity.
