Good entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2002)

This thriller, based on the book by Robert Ludlam and the TV Movie starring Richard Chamberlain, features Matt Damon as an amnesiac who cant figure out why everyone wants to kill him or why he is so good at killing others. The story is involving and moves along at a nice clip. The supporting cast, featuring Chris Cooper (as a CIA Agent) and Franka Potente (as the love interest) is good, though Julia Stiles (usualy an effective young actress) weirdly turns up in a minor role. Damon is good for the most part, though he is never entirely believable in this role.. still that doesnt stop the film from being very entertaining and action packed. GRADE: B+
