Despite a very brave and interesting performance by the ever surprising Matt Damon, this film is an odd failure. From the 70's music and fonts of the opening credit, you're expecting a period spoof, only to find the film is set in the early 90's. Not nearly as entertaining or endearing as Catch Me If You Can, and just plainly odd. I think Soderbergh fell in love with his character and thought that substituting a strong character would be enough to offset a story or a point of view. Too much Ocean's Eleven fake jovialness.
Wait for the video, and then make sure you have a good bottle of wine. Maybe it'll make more sense then.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
