I've been hearing ever since this came out about how great it was, from folks whose judgment I generally trust. It rose to the top of my Netflix queue and, well, they're right

Agreed on all counts!

It's an absolute joy isn't it :) I loved Richard Roundtree's role as Assistant V.P. Trueman, the dialogue between him and Joseph Gordon-Levitt just sparkles.

Also, the sound work was magnificent. Enough so that when I saw No Country For Old Men, my impression was that it had the best sound since Brick.

Everything I hear about that movie makes me want to see it more. I'll have to find a decent video store in the neighborhood, since I don't like netflix.

Interesting concept. I'll have to check it out.
