Cheap neoclasicism is what Steven Soderbergh, his screenwriter and actors did. This bunch of retrogrades can’t come up with something engaging in the tradition of Casablanca, the third man, or germany year zero.
George Clooney and Toby Maguire produce some good results (though the latter looks out of place), and Cate Blanchett keeps mimicking Marlene Dietrich with flat results.
Stylistically interesting, but hollow in the rest.
