Scott continues his devotion, first professed in Enemy of the State and Spy Game, to jittery editing and cinematography that conjures an unholy mix of Traffic-era Steven Soderbergh and Mix Master Mike. The effect is to reflect the grime of Mexico City and Creasy’s deep ambivalence about his profession, but it often feels like a put-on concession to the MTV generation...
...founder Robert Redford's influence over the indie world is portrayed as Zen-like, though the actor's enigmatic, elusive nature keeps him mostly in shadows throughout the book. (Unlike Weinstein, Redford refused to talk to Biskind.) Still, Redford emerges long enough to double-cross his former protege, Steven Soderbergh, whose sex, lies, and videotape was shown in Park City in 1989, by plucking the movie Quiz Show out from under him.

But Clooney turns out to have a flair, puckish and audacious, for his new job. Learning from working with Steven Soderbergh and the Coen brothers and from watching the '70s thrillers of Alan J. Pakula (Klute, The Parallax View), Clooney figured out how to turn images and performances into menace and sizzle. He's already a real director. If he ever tires of his name above the title, he could build...
