Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2004)

i was a big fan of the first film, and the story, acting, and locations of this movie are passable...
the problem is the director....i don't know what he he was thinking....THE CAMERAS shake NON-STOP....after the first half hour of the movie, my eyes hurt...after an hour, i had a headache....by the end of the movie i felt seriously nauseous....
particularly in the action sequences, the camera is shaking non-stop (possibly in an attempt to create some higher level of kinetic action???)...greengrass has some kind of obsession with shoulder cameras....
and the closeups!!! this guy has never heard of a medium shot....i can vividly remember every pore on matt damon's face.....
the car chase seemed like an interesting scene, but i just couldn't take the camera shaking, closeups, and CONSTANT cutting the takes place....
if you liked the first one, the story will probably draw you back....just don't sit too close to the screen unless you bring one of those airplane sick bags with you...
