Jerky camera work, jerky story

Rating: 4/10 (12 October 2004)

For all those who complained about jerky camera movements in Bourne Supremacy, stay away from this movie. I had to turn away from the screen several times it was so disorienting and distracting. This is a TV movie, well worn story not told well because there is not much story there. It is just life and life is just not that dramatic, unless you try to make it so. Because you cannot tell what parts of this are true (an TV interview with one of the players told me his father was not as portrayed in the movie) then one must assume many of the subplots and life stories (other than subtitles at the end) were created for this movie. They probably fictionalized the finish to the game.This is a typical soap opera. But it is worse. This is the kind of Hollywood fodder that conservatives thrive on. It makes the middle Americans into some kind of troglodyte. They certainly decided to make the hicks of TX and blacks of the other team into evil or unthinking villains.
