Edited in a Veg-O-Matic?

Rating: 1/10 (1 January 2005)

Previous poster mentioned that the choppy editing in this film works. Maybe so if you are wildly entertained by 30 second commercials. My husband swears there WAS a tracking shot in this film, but I sure didn't see one. The only thing I can figure out is that the film was shot and then the producer, editor, director, studio head, gaffer, gopher, janitor, or guy who read the focus group comments realized: "We got no plot twists, no character development, and no interesting visuals. How we gonna save this franchise?" The answer: "Do not hold ANY shot for more than 2 seconds.If we incessantly cut, cut, cut; pan, pan ,pan; zoom, zoom, zoom; then the audience will be too confused, seasick, and migraine filled to notice that we got one big nothing. Yeah, that's the ticket." I thought the first "Bourne" was just okay, but this one makes it look like a masterwork. Please send director Peter Greengrass back to Film 101! Or limit him to directing those Veg-O-Matic spots.
