AV Club and Salon critic Sam Adams shares a pretty detailed breakdown of the the actual plot mechanics and chain of events in the movie at Salon.Meanwhile Jonah Weiner has some interesting insights on the noir-ish worldview of the film over at Slate.
Now those are both pretty favorable looks at the film For a look at the other side of the conversation, I suggest taking a look at Jim Emerson's Scanners blog. Emerson is the editor of Roger Ebert's blog and also one of my favorite film writers. But it seems that every so often he just plain dislikes a movie that a lot of people seem to love and the result is usually several blog posts and tons of great discussion. Even when I disagree with the guy, I love hearing what he has to say.
