Hilariously dry narration by a bright and neurotic chemist as he bests all weaving his complex web of lies, rhetoric and inanity
An enjoyable, goofy, and sometimes dark crime comedy! Matt Damon does a good job leading as such a frustrating and hate-able main character.
An amusing take on the crime biography genre that Damon excels in. Soderbergh’s style shows through and is a good backdrop for the story.
Matt Damon plays a very weird against-type role here: a doofus who may be more complicated than he looks. Very charming.
Funny “what the heck” movie, does not hurt watching this odd ball.
Solid performances and interesting weird true story. Soderbergh is great with a low budget.
Excellent drama comedy with great acting too. Worth watching
Pretty great cast, quirky story that outstays it’s welcome. Pretty unique feeling film
Damon’s outrageous character holds this together enough. Good, yet you start 2 wonder how rest of characters r dumb to fall for obvious cons
What a story! Matt Damon nails his role in this funny and quirky character study. Good dialogue.
