Quality entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2003)

There are definately a lot of Robert Ludlam fans that saw this movie, and most likely all are dissapointed. My roommate read the book,saw the movie, and complained. I hadn't read the book, and thus enjoyed the movie as someone with no prior knowledge of the Bourne series of books. This movie was very well done with some pretty stylish elements (I've enjoyed director Doug Liman's past two films 'Siwngers' and 'Go'). The action was very entertaining, believeable and well distributed throughout the film. Matt Damon did a good job in this role and was a true bad-ass yet confused assasin. I especially liked the scene between him and the assasin trying to kill him in the field... though I won't say more about it and spoil the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it. I can't see much wrong with this movie, and it one of the better films I saw in the theaters last year.
