I just got back from seeing it...I thought it was amazing...not so much as a thriller, but as a character piece. Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn were both fantastic. And, of course, Catherine Keener was great in her supporting roll. I thought Penn was just pitch perfect...Thriller-wise, I saw where it was going pretty quick, but I loved watching these characters. Sydney Pollack is, for me, one of the best storytellers we have.
