Wasting good talent

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2004)

** possible spoilers **
I don't know if it is the latest artistic thing in Hollywood or not, but I consider this movie to be almost unwatchable thanks to what may the latest in editing techniques: scenes shot using multiple cameras and then edited into a collage to form a scene, but no single scene seems to last longer than maybe 3 or 4 seconds.
The fight scenes are virtually impossible to follow, the car chases *could* have been good if they weren't done in the same piece-meal fashion, and the acting talents of Matt Damon were wasted on this flick because he's only acting for miniscule amounts of time. Even the worst actors can remember lines for 'scenes' that go for ridiculously short takes.
I have no problem with the acting, the casting, or the script, even thought the plot was a bit thin. The whole movie (IMO) was wrecked by dodgy direction and editing. It could have been so much more.
