Finally watched this after being intrigued for ages by Ebert's review and others like it. Flat and boring, I thought - everything paper-thin and the retro aesthetic very incompletely worked-out. Script was also suuuuuper lame; feel like an actual 30s/40s "ace reporter" character would have been given actually snappy, witty dialogue and charming exchanges with Jude Law, rather than just empty signifiers gesturing at the idea of a squabbling couple that will get together at the end. Angelina Jolie's character was also totally worthless and barely in the movie really. Are there people out there for whom this holds up? Are any of its defenders itt still around?
