A little slow in it's pace, a lot of empty shots and almost every alternate scene ended way away from where they should have ended, but yet the film managed to hold my interest till the end. I might not be able to jot down that one point this film was built on, but I think that's a characteristic of a good film.
Every actor in this film is good. And George Clooney does a charming act - totally loved him in this.
Hopefully will catch the film which has generated the other Oscar Nomination buzz - for the best actress.
