Miramax Films; 2007; 100 minutes; R, for sexual situations, violence and profanity; Directed by Scott Frank; Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jeff Daniels, Matthew Goode, Isla Fisher, Carla Gugino, Bruce McGill, Alex Borstein, Sergio Di Zio and David Huband; Screenwriter(s): Scott Frank
Screenwriter Scott Frank, who penned scripts for such films as “Get Shorty,” “Minority Report,” “Final Analysis” and “Out of Sight,” makes the most of his first turn as writer-director with a well done, surprisingly suspenseful May-December character study cum crime caper that benefits from the talents of an excellent cast.
