Don't watch the trailer! It spoils the whole movie.

I could kick myself for not jumping on this when it came out. I just watched it, and I honestly can't fathom the tepid reviews, and I haven't seen any coherent criticism outside of "didn't like it".

The soundtrack is inspired; rather than just "cheating" with great songs to force a mood for a scene, they were all picked to fit organically, and mostly are actually playing in the scene. I can't think of another film off the top of my head where this was attempted, or executed well when it was.

The leads are great together, and it hits just the right tone of wryly heartfelt and funny, and tense and exciting. It's neither misanthropic nor cloyingly banal and overly safe. Lead girl is great but Lio Tipton's Nora gave a tone of personality and moxie to the opening and last acts.

There's one scene later in the movie with John Malkovich in a Jeep, and it's totally trailer bait, but I'm so glad it's been so long that I hadn't seen the trailer recently, because they basically spoil the entire movie, and that line, which actually has its intended effect if watched blind.
