Positive Experience/Entertaining? Very much so. While impatience will stop some audience members from enjoying this movie, I thought it an interesting experiement and very entertaining work. Director Soderburgh creates a movie that feels like it was made in the 1940's but made with modern sensibilities. Thus, the people behave, speak, and act like they must have (swearing, sex, murder, violence), but all captured on beautiful black and white. The pace is even, the story clear and understandable. But, like I said, without huge explosions today's audience may not think it's very thrilling.
Technically any good? The black and white photography is lovely, with film noir lighting and great costumes. It really adheres to the sensibilities of the time, so while there are no huge camera cuts, zooms, or special effects, it still kept my attention.
How did it leave me feeling?! Satisfied. While not the perfect movie, it still was worth seeing and worth making in this day and age of colorized, CG-effect-laden movies.
Final Rating? SIYL
