The film for which Alison Janney would go on to win a makeup Oscar for several films later. It's aged better than like 90% of that era. And God it's got such great little details.
Not bad, good to see Chicago landmarks, some decent acting, kinda just made me want to watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
A delight, not least of all because this film was allowed to breathe outside of its main clever conceit. There is time and space for truly beautiful character performances that do not strictly serve to advance the spinning plate plot, meaningful tidbits that "go" nowhere but fill in the world. And yet it's still tight and pacey enough that it feels playful rather than indulgent. Great stuff.
JJ Abrams films ask the question, "What if an installment of every billion dollar franchise was about 9/11 being an inside job", but this one had Phillip Seymour Hoffman casually in god mode as a perfect villain and it was better than the second MI film so sure three stars for PSH
