RE:
It was unlike anything I've experienced in the cinema. Curiously I'm not chomping at the bit to see it again, as I found it quite stressful. Definitely edge-of-the-seat stuff, visceral. Not over-burdened with plot or dialogue, yet a must-see in my view.
MLCMMan, I could watch Bullock paint a wall for two hours so no complaints here.
I also saw her in The Heat recently alongside potty-mouthed Bridesmaids behemoth Melissa McCarthy. I enjoyed her performance, as I invariably do. Clooney does what Clooney does, provides eye-candy for ladies of a certain age, infuses the dialogue with sardonic wit and that bordering-on-arogant self-assurance. I won't say more, but Bullock is the star for me.
The cinematography, if that's what you can call this, is off the scale.
