Here is a user comment from IMDb:
……As a screenwriter, Tony Gilroy is a force to be reckoned with. There is an eloquence and sophistication to his dialog that is rarely seen in modern day cinema. Lines that are delivered by Owen and Roberts are sharp, witty, edgy and intelligent. Naturally, when you throw these two “A List” stars into the mix, what rises on screen is pure cinematic beauty. Both Julia and Clive, seem comfortable and natural in their roles as lovers/operatives and the chemistry is at often times dazzling to watch.
As a Director, Gilroy always pays careful, particular attention to detail. A sly smile, a nod, a toss of the hair as well as a hilarious super slow motion fight scene between Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson to open the picture……
