By the halfway point in the film, we already had the Irish mob, the Italian mob, an illicit affair, car chases, shoot - outs, some major deaths, Prohibition ending, drugs, booze, the KKK... and then we get a crooked Sherriff, more racists, teenage prostitution in Hollywood, blackmail, fundamentalist rallies, gambling, more shootouts, two Not
Entirely Unexpected Twists and more deaths.
Soderbergh being Soderbergh, the aftermath of the racetrack robbery takes some
unexpected twists on the formula, including the amusing touch of introducing an
entirely new character, played by an Oscar - winning star, in the final 20 minutes.
