I didn't expect it to be that good...

Rating: Null/10 (24 July 2004)

At first when I glimpsed at this, I wasn't so sure about seeing Matt Damon in this kind of role. But when I finally saw the film, I realized I was just paranoid as it's a very good action film that uses the european car chase formula and does it in a respectable fashion. And there's a fight scene that was cleared for a PG-13 movie when it possibly passes for an R. I see how this even resembles The Italian Job in a sense but I am aware that this came out first - but anyway it's not like it's a bad thing.

Matt Damon does surprisingly well in his fight scenes which are shot from many angles to take the burden off of the choreographer. Matter fact he pulls it off so well that I tend to forget he's not even a martial artist as he had to gone through serious training for this role. For a PG-13 film, it is relatively graphic at times
9/10
