This is a tough movie to review. But I will try my darndest! I love Matt Damon, so I was biased going into this movie. Then again, I often find Steven Soderbergh likes to slow the pace of his movies down, so I also had a negative bias going in. The end result was not a bad movie at all, but it could have been much better. Matt Damon was great in the lead role, and you really do feel for his character. He's very quirky and cooky. But the buzz that this could land him another best actor Oscar nomination is totally unfounded in my opinion. He's great, don't get me wrong, but he's nowhere near Oscar great. The overall pace of the movie was very good, so Soderbergh didn't slow it down, thankfully! The general mood is light, although as the story progresses, it gets heavier and heavier. Be warned, you may find yourself a little lost at the beginning... don't panic, things are explained later... I will admit that even I was confused and wondering if I had missed something. 6/10, but a low 6 that almost was a 5.
