Good action, not a thinker though

Rating: 8/10 (13 June 2002)

We enjoyed the movie - it wasn't a big thinking piece, but it moved well. I'm looking forward to reading the books now, since I'm sure a lot of back-plot was taken out. Matt Damon was very a very sympathetic character, even when he was beating on people - that's an accomplishment! And it was nice to see the female lead not being an unlikely glamour gal ... she looked and acted like a regular person being confronted by irregular circumstances.
