It's a smart, very well constructed, very well written & acted show (Jeremy Renner is top notch and supporting cast is all-around great), but it's one of those rare times with a show or movie that I felt its violence a bit disturbing, it's just an endless repetition of violent scenes and plots, it feels at time a bit gratuitous and I feel sometimes a bit manipulated. This is a difficult show to review because despite all of that, I'm not against it at all, I think it's a good show but I would enjoy it a lot more I think with a bit more of restrain and humanity, sometimes it's just too much. Violence kills violence.

I know the camera (iPhone) must be a tiny tiny part of the whole equipment they're using for filming this movie, but I'm nonetheless impressed by the quality of the picture. I don't always like Soderbergh's movies, but I really appreciate he's always exploring new ways of filming, distributing, mediums, it's never the statut quo. A truly great professional.

I've found this documentary with its slow paced narration and editing quite apaising and somewhat poetic. I really enjoyed it, it's rather unusual in these times of fast cuts and over-feeding of information to adopt this counterpoint. I must confess I can not say I've seen a lot of Orson Welles' movies but after seeing this documentary I definitively plan to watch more of them. I also was impressed by how good he was at drawing, in summary a great all-around artist.
