The Good German
Really cool and really stylistic, but it's really only for those fans of old b/w noir spy thrillers like Notorious. I'd go so far as to say Soderberg made his "Grindhouse" but as an ode to Bogey and Bacall, not Corman and Hill. Not as good as the material it references, but a loving tribute to a bygone film style nonetheless. Excellent use of stock footage & rear screen projection give it a great period feel. If the storytelling had been a bit more cohesive I'd give it a higher rating, but It's another solid, entertaining outing from Soderberg and Clooney. Highly recommended to Alky, Neverending, Crabby & Newb...Zwoti might dig it too. 7.5/10
