Although this thread seems to have descended into rancor, on the original subject...I had little expectation. The story itself has little drama. But the director threw his full arsenal at it, and he's quite skilled at this point, and there is almost no shot or scene that is not compelling to watch. Starting out with the conversation in the pub, which is complex, layered, total non-realistic movie speak, yet eminently watchable. A slight personal enjoyment, the tech speak was accurate and sensible ("then I had to use emacs to change the perl script.."). This was much better than I expected as well.
