Good spy action flick

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2002)

I've never read the book but I liked the movie. It had a neat premise and great action scenes. It's a bit light in terms of story and there's not a lot in the way of character development either but that's really no great loss because this movie is driven by action and in that sense, it's really good. The stunts are done in such a way that they don't seem that implausible and you'll find yourself rooting for Matt Damon who is pretty good in the role of the action hero.
