...assumption of a white audience doesn't necessarily preclude minority participation in theater. For Marcus Stern, a Harvard lecturer and frequent director at the American Repertory Theater, he would be "hard-pressed to believe there is almost any script that can't be casted color-blind. As soon as you start making racial lines in your work, your work becomes half of what it could be. That's true of any field...
...plot of the film is largely incidental. It appears pieced-together haphazardly, as though the script were written after the bat attack scenes were filmed, to add human faces a the cast of winged mammals.

As he did in Out of Sight, Soderbergh slices, dices and Cuisinarts the script into flashbacks, scene shifts, stop motion and other distracting foolery. Is he working out a new form of visual storytelling, or has the ever-so-promising director of sex, lies, and videotape lost his chops and his marbles...
