Why I liked it

Rating: Null/10 (25 February 2003)

I rented this movie expecting to not like it. I love Ludlum books but find that they are almost impossible to screenplay effectively.
I was very happy with the overall feel and pacing of the movie. I also missed the opening credits so I was unaware until the end that Doug Liman had directed. Swingers is one of my faves and I also enjoyed GO, so upon learning he directed it, my happiness with the movie was reinforced.
Overall, a well done spy flick, without all the Bond-esque glam but with all the action you should expect. The use of Franka absolutely sold me on this movie.
One question; was Damon's dialogue with her in the car, the part where he says something like, "You've got to be able to run," an intentional wink to "Run, Lola, Run?"
