Too Much Shaking and Baking

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2012)

Sometimes it is a good thing to step back and chill a minute. Even knowing the propensity for this director to use rapid-cutting techniques didn't prepare me for the confusion and, well let's admit it, big fat headache it gave me while at the same time trying to focus on the quivering hand-held camera. Yikes! Just 'cause you know how doesn't mean you have to use all your tricks at the same time. This was a good story that tied onto the Bourne mythos and rebooted the movie franchise with actors who were terrific. Good action sequences and stunts also, so my advice to the director or directors of future Bourne (or will they be Cross?) flix is to trust the viewer to "get" the drama without adding in those cinematography gimmicks.
