it sounds like another clever if pointless excursion into the abyss , and that 's more or less how it plays out .

the film has the high-buffed gloss and high-octane jolts you expect of de palma , but what makes it transporting is that it 's also one of the smartest , most pleasurable expressions of pure movie love to come from an american director in years .
