Title: Rich, rewarding, and well-acted
Product review: If you're one of those rare people who would rather go see great character actors (guys like Don Cheadle, William Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, John Reilly) then this movie will be a treat. These four -- and others -- turn in scene stealing performances that never quite overshadow the surprisingly impressive central performance by Mark Wahlberg.Director Paul Thomas Anderson takes viewers inside the porn industry at a time when video was replacing celluloid, but it's the characters that dominate, not the setting. The delicately interwoven stories will grab you and move you even if you've never seen a single porno flick.The soundtrack is great, too.
