...connected headphones around my neck, and the release as momentum freed the iPod. It hit a metal trash can straight on, then skidded off into the street making with a sound like a row of people dropping their cell phones one after the other. None of this happened in slo-motion...
...movie tips its veneration of Dillinger in an early heist scene when, as he vaults over a bank partition, the camera goes briefly into slo-mo; it's like Leni Riefenstahl filming the Olympics of bank-robbing.

The last two minutes are extraordinary for a porn film: one extended closeup of the faces of a man and woman as they kiss (and have sex). It was as if the Mitchells understood Ingmar Bergman's dictum that "Film begins...
