Bourne is not for everybody

Rating: 1/10 (6 August 2007)

Although I thought the screen play was excellent I felt the videography and music score was absolutely atrocious. From the opening scene I felt I was watching a home video taken by someone with hyperactivity syndrome. The camera was NEVER still and that was in the scenes where people were just talking to each other. Once the action started it was impossible to comfortably watch. It gave me a feeling of vertigo. The car car chase I can only compare very unfavorably to classics like the "French Connection" and "Bullitt". The score was so loud it was painful rather than suspense building. Not to be totally negative, the fictional or not high tech CIA tools were fascinating.
