Not that great

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2002)

SPOILERS Although I like Matt Damon as an actor (despite All the Pretty Horses), this movie didn't really do much for me. After seeing the trailers, I thought that it would be a decent movie. I'm not saying that it was a bad movie, but it was very anti-climatic all the way through. I'm not really sure if there was a climax in this film at all. It certainly wasn't in the ending, where you figure he would face off against someone. But apparently (by reading some of the other comments) they took one of the main characters from the book out of the movie. One silly thing was, why did he go through all the trouble of cutting and dying the girls hair, and then changing nothing on himself. Not even a fake mustache or something. Maybe he figured they would be saying "That looks a lot like the man we're looking for, but the girls hair is shorter and a different color, so that can't be Jason Bourne."
With these negative aspects, the movie does have good action scenes, and it was interesting to see Matt Damon in this type of role. I think that he did a pretty decent job, its just too bad that the writing for the movie wasn't a little better. 6.5/10
