Nice spy thriller

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2002)

I have to say I enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would. Not the most original storyline, but very good performances, great action sequences, great locations/scenery, and nice cinematography. Admittedly Julia Stiles is somewhat wasted in her role (maybe not the best use of the budget, but that is not my concern), but its not like having a "nobody" in the role would have improved the picture or anything. I do wonder why they decided to film the last book in the series. I think they missed the opportunity to start a series of Bourne movies based on the Ludlum novels. Overall, worth the price of admission....8/10.
