My rating: 7.5/10
I have never been the biggest Matt Damon fan. His acting seems the same in any role he plays. The best actors are the ones that can be the most diverse, and I don't believe Matt Damon to be among them, but that does not mean the actor has limits.
This film has something that newer movies seem to lack, an original and interesting plot. Its good to see a movie with some intelligence hitting theaters. Why do you think Inception was so popular? People like to have their minds blown. It's hard to watch this film without stopping to ponder on what just happened. I don't think I will ever look at a person in one of those hats the same way again.
The chemistry of the two main characters was quick but definite. The sparks were flying from the start, which I still cannot decide if that was good or not. Although, from the aspect of the story, it does seem to fit well. It never seems hard to make a character likable, so it seems difficult to give credit for that. Nonetheless, I can't say I wasn't rooting for them all the way.
The ending was VERY predictable. With just watching a few trailers, you're sure to figure it out. But, It's not always the predictability of the ending that is important but how you get there. We've all seen movies that happen to be a bore, but with that certain twist at the end, it may have bumped it from a 2 to a 4 in our rankings. There are some interesting things in this movie but nothing very twist-like. To make another Inception reference, the ending left you wondering. It had one of those epic twists. But, there is nothing like that here to bump it up a notch. That saddens me.
As I said, it's not always the predictability but the path you take to get there. All in all I actually really enjoyed it. I like movies with some intelligence and originality and I think this movie really has it. I would recommend it to any of my friends, and probably will.
7.5/10
