formulaic nonsense

Rating: 1/10 (26 August 2002)

This movie bored me to tears. Hideous miscasting (Julia Stiles, what were you thinking?), the people you want to see more of are given bit parts (Brian Cox, Clive Owen...) and the wrong people die. No explaination of Jason's existance is given and the only bit of directorial style is the opening sequence and after that all is downhill. It's no more than an excuse for Matt to be an action hero and attempt to convince us he can act by having some lines in foreign languages. Utterly without redeeming features
