Wes' best. By far. The kinetic quirkiness of his almost Marx Brothers-like lead trio is suddenly arrested by the most touching and striking sober sequence Anderson could have ever pulled off. I'll see it again and again.
Oh please! Sandra Bullock tries ONCE AGAIN to fool us into thinking that she's NOT a lesbian...just kidding. Seriously, I was surprisingly charmed, though I expected little from this one. See? I can be nice every now and then.
A classic, especially for those of us who work in technology. Stephen root's physical characterization is as good as any by DeNiro, Hoffman, or Olivier. I'm serious.
Very involving storyline with fine, intelligent acting by Foster. However, the concept of the McCarthy-like government figure smothering science for "national security reasons" (and we're talking pre-911 Bushco) is a tired and obvious plot element, made even more annoying with Woods' cartoonish portrayal.
