It's hard to believe that Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh's roster of films includes such diverse listings as
Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Schizopolis, Traffic, and
Ocean's Eleven. Such a list seems to point at his mastery at creating box office hits, but also to his innate dedication to and belief in the power of experimental film making. His newest work is a psychological thriller with a fictional antidepressant drug playing the central role. An all-star cast of Jude Law, Rooney Mara, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Channing Tatum assures great acting, a screenplay by Scott Z. Burns, who brought us
The Bourne Ultimatum and
Contagion, makes a case for suspenseful, nail-biting drama, and an Academy Award-winning director hopefully guarantees us, in this case, fantastic movie-going.
