The narrative itself is lackluster, and the logic of the characters' behavior seems far-fetched. Director Steven Soderbergh seems to be all about form: he intends to make a "old studio movie without the constraints of the old studios". The actor's dress, way of speaking, and the use of light and composition are obviously closer to "North Africa Spy", and even use old-fashioned camera lenses.
The film seriously cares about one thing and the other, the suspense is insignificant, and several major scenes have similar plots in other films, which seems familiar. The actors' hard-working performances are also completely discredited in the film. Tobey Maguire, who plays "Spider-Man", plays a desperate driver in the black market transaction in the film. There is room for acting, but he is "murdered" early; George Clooney plays The reporters are like lone heroes, neither humorous nor passionate.
