Disguised as Entertainment

Rating: 3/10 (16 August 2013)

I was sort of a Matt Damon fan, and of course how could you not like Jodie Foster? While the film is visually stunning, and the characters sway the viewer to and fro, I found the underlying theme political. I followed Matt Damon through the Bourne series, and like a lot of people, I found myself rooting for him as the underdog.....unfortunately, because I was following his career, I began to read more about how he thinks. That would be fine, except his politics seem to ooze out into the Panoramic Screen, albeit subtly, but obvious. I wouldn't care about his politics, except for the fact he seems to use this movie to further that view. For just pure entertainment, this movie will keep your pulse at a steady high, the graphics are excellent, and it is pretty much non-stop. Recommend this movie to someone? I'm not so sure, because in the end one is supposed to leave the theater hating the rich, bolstering what media wants us to believe. Whatever happened to "Just the facts, ma'am?" I think I will concentrate on the animated movie scene from here on out.
