Clichéd, incomprehensible, ultimately boring

Rating: 1/10 (3 January 2005)

I didn't time it, but I would guess that at least half of the time is spent in car-chases. If you like car-chases, that's fine, but I find them irritating and a waste of time. To add insult to injury, at least half of the spoken words (in English, supposedly) were unintelligible and the plot was almost impossible to comprehend, except for the fact that this was an add-on to the previous movie and the CIA was out to kill Matt Damon, who had lost his memory (why? how?). I had seen the previous movie, but it didn't help my understanding much. This, to my way of thinking, is a genre movie that has outlived its value, if it ever had any. Most of the elements are gratuitous and do not contribute to the plot or character development (of which there is none.) I gave this movie the worst possible rating and consider it an utter waste of time. Incidentally, I love movies - good ones - and see quite a few. I'd recommend Sideways, American Splendor (same star in both), American Beauty, Shakespeare in Love, True Lies and many others.
