Loved the movie; hated the camera work

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2004)

I think this movie might've been everything I hoped it would be. I think because I couldn't tell for sure when I watched it, thanks to the jarring, out-of-focus camera work. I got a headache about 10 minutes into the picture and had a migraine by the end.
Most of what I loved about the Bourne Identity was clearly gone: the sweet, sweet romance; the intricate fights; the self discovery. What remained was Jason's worst nightmare, unfortunately so blurred and chopped that I can only guess what really happened.
That said, I'd pop a Dramamine and watch this again to try to figure it out.
Matt Damon excelled in his role as before. I truly believed his motivation and supported his quest for revenge. I loved the music, the scenery, and the plot, so I give this movie an 8. If the camera had been anywhere besides clutched in somebody's shaky hand or resting on the shoulder of a jogger, I'd have given it a 10.
