Closer

A Movie Reel

Closer: 8 out of 10.

I'm about to pay this movie the highest compliment I'm capable of.  It made Julia Roberts completely bearable for 104 minutes.

Actually, all four of the main actors are quite good in this Mike Nichols film, particularly Clive Owen.  It's well paced, well written and nicely bookended by Damien Rice's "The Blower's Daughter".  And no, the Nine Inch Nails tune doesn't appear on the soundtrack although the theme is prevalent.
