Here's a sampling of plot holes:

1) Soderbergh depicts prep-school kids wandering the ghetto in their jackets and ties. Not even teen-age junkies are that dumb. And how many prepsters mess around with needles and spoons?

2) An assassination attempt occurs in the parking lot of a federal courthouse. But who has ever head of an open-air, above-ground parking lot in a federal court building complex?

3) FBI agents would be wise to the trick of trying to kill a witness by sending him poisoned room service.

4) No president would hire a drug czar who required so much education in the ABCs of the drug war.

5) Federal agents would be listening in on the prison visit in which Zeta- Jones' husband tells her to "look into" the artwork where his Swiss bank account numbers are hidden.
