Steven Soderbergh

Rating:
Summary: Don't Bother
Review: This slim guidebook isn't worth even its meager cover price. The author covers Soderbergh's directorial efforts up through "Ocean's Eleven" (2001) using a series of subheadings such as Cast, Crew, Story, Subtext, and Verdict for each film. The book also includes a section on unrealized projects as well and an introduction and epilogue. Much of the information is available elsewhere, and the author's original comments show no special insight. Most disturbing, in synopsizing each film, the author gets the facts of the plot wrong on a couple of occasions. Soderbergh's work deserves better.
