I wish there were more movies like this. It's engaging. From the beginning, it's impossible to turn away from the story--how it unfolds, then folds up neatly again. At first, as characters are introduced, their stories seem completely separate. Most of these characters are strangers to each other, yet their lives become entwined in a way that is extraordinary and feasible at the same time. All of the actors turn in stellar performances--the young man's self-centered intensity, his girl-friend's patient optimism. One performance of special note is the female exec. She's vulnerable, she's strong. She's pretty amazing. Finally, the screenplay is beautifully written. It's neat and well-planned. There are no loose ends at the conclusion. There's suspense, romance, action--this movie has it all.
