Saw this in a tiny one screen theatre in Telluride, CO last weekend. Not a bad flick I must say. Tom Hanks as always is great, but Philip Seymour Hoffman steals the film. Worth the 8 bucks I paid. Oh and if Julia Roberts has had three kids then I want to meet her trainer. The scene where she steps out of the hot tub and shows of her six pack abs was pretty impressive...

nice opening scene.
it was a decent film, enjoyable. agree about the performances, esp PST. not sure it brings home the goods on the political comment it tries to make at the end and, like most "political" movies often shortchanges issues for narrative tempo.
comes up sort of empty in that regard. some really good scenes though.
as for Philip Seymour Hoffman, when the devil knows your dead is worth seeing. pretty dark.
