Pretty good film. One thing that struck me was the quality of the acting - I thought several actors had to be major stars I'd somehow not recognized, but on looking at the credits realized they were just about all unknowns (Dominique Pinon apart). They dominated the screen with total confidence (two that really made an impression were the black girl and the batty academic with her pile of Readers Digest Condensed Books).

One small plot hole. What did anybody actually DO to change the Morris Circle's mind? There should have been something to imply in at least vague terms that somebody had done something pretty persuasive, but you didn't find out a thing.
