Singing the praises of the Ford Escort!

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2004)

This movie just oozes class(except maybe for the very beginning in the boat scenes - but they, too, were well constructed). However, another viewing is needed to comprehend the alternate beginning offered on my DVD! Damon is almost perfectly cast (and I'm not even a huge fan of his), but top marks to the Paris scenery, which adds something that would just not have been possible had it been adapted to be filmed in the USA.
The realism is impressive too; nice to see a Ford Escort get rammed instead of some obscure American car blowing up in a ball of fire after only a slight impact as is the case in so many America-set movies! Can't wait for the Bourne Supremacy!
