excellent plot, Europe revealed

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2005)

Of course, the plot is catching, more than everything else. Nevertheless, Hollywood should descend more in Europe to shoot movies that would bear the old continent's mark, which is exactly a point this movie makes. Distribution is great, though Matt Damon is not exactly looking like the forceful hero on screen. He should have been more credible as a tough guy. Eliminating further some of the Hollywood action movie clichÃ©s could have helped. But, this film is worth seeing and a little bit of reflection on real life untold stories wouldn't ruin anybody's day. One could even develop a taste for asking more of the same, if not better.
