Great movie ruined by shotty camera work.

Rating: 5/10 (23 July 2004)

As for the plot and content this movie was excellent. Unfortunately it was ruined by the worst camera work I have EVER seen. Half the film was just a blur because the camera was so shakey. And not just during the action sequences, more than once during face shots of Damon just standing there, the camera was shaking like the cinematographer had cerebral palsy. Most of the action shots were completely obscured. Now some will argue this is a technique to make you feel part of the action. This can be true when used sparingly but when the shot is moving so much you absolutely cannot see what is happening you just feel ripped off and annoyed. Annoyed because you paid for a movie most of which you didn't see and annoyed because the little you could distinguish was good.
