Should have a different title as has nothing to do with book.

Rating: 3/10 (10 February 2003)

The book by Robert Ludlum has been one of my favorites since it was first released. Both the characters and plot are complex. This movie's characters are totally one dimensional. There is no acting - and I think Matt Damon is a wonderful actor - but he was wasted in this film. He barely had any lines and certainly no depth. The plot doesn't even make sense. I have been so looking forward to this movie and, now that I've seen it, am sooooooo disappointed. The TV mini-series staring Richard Chamberlain was so much better. I can understand wanting to update the story, but everything that made this such a wonderful book was completely ignored. Too bad!
