I was lucky enough to see this movie in the theater when it came out and quick enough to buy the first VHS copy I could get my hands on. Over the years I have passed this movie around to dozens of people. Their reactions are almost always the same, "HOW COME I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS MOVIE?!"How come, indeed. This was one of Soderbergh's earliest and (in my opinion) best directorial efforts. Irons is a perfect Kafka and Theresa Russell does a magnificent job with her sexy anarchist and love-interest role. One of the best characters is definitely Joel Grey's officious little insurance clerk-- the personification of "the banality of evil".The switch to technicolor midway through the movie is pure genius and a nice touch after the noir feel of the first half. If you can beg or borrow a copy of this movie, DO IT NOW!
