DUELING CRITICS

	"A rich, dark, pulpy mess of entanglements that fulfills all the requirements of the genre, and is told with an ease and gusto that make the pulp tasty"
- Lisa Schwarzbaum

	"...the virus of celebrity certainty can be difficult to treat and almost impossible to cure, and he needs an immediate intervention. So, Ben: I love you, but your movie's kinda stupid. Go make a better one. You'll thank me for this one day."
- Andrew O'Hehir
