still good for the second time

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2003)

It wasn't until about 20 minutes into the film that I realised I'd watched it (or part of it) before. This suggests that the first time I watched it I was very very drunk. Despite the feeling that you think you may need to concentrate to get the best out of the film, its very easy to watch and doesn't tax the mind too much. All is explained as the plot unwinds, though Matt Damon's ability for dealing with all the obstacles put in his way are sometimes a bit unbelievable, unless you imagine Arnie in the role. (In fact its a pity for Arnie that he didn't do this film, we might have seen him in something good for a change). Worth watching, even for a second time!
