Great script, Great music. Worst cinematography EVER on any film I have seen. So bad it was constantly taking me out of the story. To bad they did not hire a DP that had a little bit of an idea of what they were doing.

 

[Jaron Berman]

Agreed on both. I've been trying to find a showing of Counterfeiters since I heard about it months ago... it premiered in NYC early January, at which time nobody here had ever heard of it. Luckily it won, so now we can actually find it in LA.

Agreed Finner - good movie, unbelievably terrible cinematography. You can see the cameraman's shadow in basically every walking shot too. Nice touch.
