Who knows what American journalist Jake Geismer (George Clooney) expected to find in postwar Berlin? Peace, maybe. Or at least a story. But Certainly not Lena (Cate Blanchett), his beautiful, embittered one-time love. And not the trail of secrecy and deception that leads from Lena to the scheming young corporal (Tobey Maguire) who`s her new lover... and to a murder no one seems interested in solving. Except Jake.

Steven Soderbergh directs three of today`s top talents in this zigzag thriller that`s both an atmospheric homage to 1940s filmmaking and a deft modern film noir.

This is the perfect partner for Ocean's Thirteen.
