It wants to make the case that there is more fun - maybe more simple humanity - to be found in the formative years of mighty enterprises (the movie business is an equally good example), before the sober men in suits take charge. This shift in tone is not entirely fatal to the movie, for Clooney's coolly scheming charm remains intact, and Zellweger gives as good as she gets in their exchanges.

Those tensions remain, but a commitment by France to send up to 1,000 troops to eastern Afghanistan, made before this summit and confirmed on Thursday...
From his voice, you’d never guess he’s a pirate. He speaks in a mild tone and chooses his words with care. But Captain Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and a radical environmentalist, freely admits to sinking at least 10 whaling boats in port, and attacking dozens more on the high seas in his lifelong quest to save whales, seals, and other precious creatures...
