More than an action sci-fi

Rating: 5/10 (9 January 2012)

I had mixed emotions after watching this. I had anticipated a movie along the lines of the "Bourne" series or "Total Recall". This movie had a lot more of a romance flair to it which ended up working very well between Damon and Blunt. The first half of the movie was written very well and set a great stage only to fall a bit flat during the last half.
The direction seemed to lose its sharpness in some of the silly details revealed in the later parts. Especially the hat the door knob props. It also felt like the ending was rushed a anti-climatic. I never did understand the ridiculous reference to the "Chairman". Had the plot not contained such a strong romance theme I would have rated much lower
