Great movie that I somehow missed when it first came out, as I love Soderberg's films. Channing Tatum was horribly miscast, he's a good actor but he has too much of a pretty boy look. I have a real soft spot for films that explore the interplay between sanity and insanity. I'm a little conflicted at the ending as her punishment appears to be taking antipsychotic medication, which you know people take. I will let it slide as a bit dated part of an otherwise great film.
