Up Close and Way Too Personal

Rating: 1/10 (6 August 2004)

I found this movie very dissapointing.
The plot was just fine -- a little transparent, but that was to be expected. But EVERYTHING was a close up!!!! I couldn't appreciate any of the action... because I COULDN'T SEE IT! Close ups have their place, they do, but not in EVERY SINGLE SCENE.
So, that really pretty much killed it for me. I recommend waiting for video. Or, if you must see it in the theatre, save a couple of dollars by seeing a matinee.
And as a final note -- I would be happier had they just stopped with the Bourne Identity. It was good as a stand alone. This one was transparent, and kind of weak.
And I really do hope I can get the imagery of every single pore of Matt Damon's face out of my memory banks. SHEESH!
