Matt Damon owes me 7 dollars

Rating: Null/10 (9 September 2004)

This movie was horrible. It was one of those movies where you wish it was over. Besides a weak story, the "shaky" camera technique they used was terrible. I don't know if they were trying to accomplish a sense of real TV or a hand held camera, like someone was actually there, but it didn't work. It was confusing during the fight scenes and car chases, and it was also used during lulls in the action. For instance Damon is writing something down and the camera jerks! Why, what's the point. The story was corny as well. The interactions between the characters just didn't give me a sense that these were CIA officers. The CIA seemed like a bunch of bumbling idiots while Bourne was a super spy killer with a heart of gold. I felt embarrassed for the actors in this movie and spent half the film rolling my eyes. In the end I would not advise moviegoers to see this or rent it. Wait for it to come on TV.
