The fact that Jimmy's a laid - off construction worker and Clyde a veteran with a conspicuous prosthetic hand gives the
film an air of social relevance, and while Soderbergh seems
enthusiastic about the idea of his characters banding together to take back from a society that's
made them collateral damage, the attempts to draw any sense of sociopolitical import are the
film's weakest spots.
One of the best things that came from having my script performed before a live audience with professional actors, was that it
made me
enthusiastic about the work again, and wanting more than ever before to see it manifested as a completed
film.
