Really bad version

Rating: 2/10 (23 January 2005)

The TV series that preceded this is far superior. Much closer to the book and with much more depth and really good supporting cast. The only noteworthy things in the Damon version is a quite cool car chase and how sadistic Damon's "character" is played. When I saw this version I was hoping that it would be at least close to the original version but boy was I wrong they took out the plot the characters and missed out on the settings. Famke Potente was good in Run Lola but is miss-cast in TBI just like Chris Cooper who usually is really good in supporting roles but he probably gave up trying after reading the supercliched script. Why should he waste any of his talent in this film when surely no one else did. My advice is avoid this and instead see the original or read the book. Some very deranged people compare Matt Damon to James Bond claiming that Bond should move over , great joke. Damon is about as charismatic and believable as a ironing board in comparison.
