Matt Damon is wasted on this sub-par film, but it's fun anyway.

Rating: 6/10 (14 October 2004)

The Bourne films (Identity, Supremacy)... Spy thrillers, full of action, fun to watch _if_ you suspend all disbelief.
Matt Damon is a better actor (Rainmaker, Good Will Hunting) than is really required here. But c'mon, he deserves to "star" in a couple of schlock movies popular with the thrill-seeking masses. (I might even qualify as one, on occasion).
This is supposed to be fun, so please don't bother us with hyper-critical, detailed analyses which tend to ruin our enjoyment anyway. A big part of the enjoyment: ultra-quick fight and car chase scenes. Just relax and get into 'em. Just ignore the obvious Hollywood patterns: the predictable love scene, the evil CIA spymasters, etc.
Just relax and enjoy the Bourne films...
