i couldn not wait to receive the dvd after hear so much about the film . what a disappointment . this become one of the most confusing film i have ever view . there be so many character introduce and some resemble others and that it become impossible to follow the story line . i could not understand how george clooney receive an act award for the film since he be hardly involved and at least in the first half of the movie . my wife and i give up after about an hour of misery and stop the dvd . i might have consider fast forward to see if the end be any good but after so much confusion decide that chance for improvement be slim . a co worker tell me that a lot of the movie come together in the last minute or less . i be glad i do not waste another hour and wait . i give the dvd away the following day .
