okay

Rating: 6/10 (10 September 2007)

it is hard to believe that so many people would rate this movie that high. First, the unsteady camera shots. I know this is the rave, but come on, it was directing 101-ish. Second, the director continued this motif by shooting each action scene close up. I suppose this saved millions on the shoot, but a close up of a rear bumper, then a turning wheel, then an eyeball, then a license plate, all combined to try and give the effect, when actually it just looked silly.
As for the plot, it was your basic they brainwashed me and I'll come back and get them, like a Total Recall done 25 years go. We all love that plot, but combined with the terrible editing and cinematography, I have to give it a 6, just because I like Matt Damon. It really is a 5 without him.
Love and Kisses, as always cary
