Most overrated film of the year

Rating: 2/10 (16 September 2007)

This movie was poor. I was bored out of my mind. Maybe the first 20 minutes of so was somewhat interesting as there was a big chase scene. That was followed by another chase scene. Which was followed by...well you get the drift. Actually this is all not true. The entire movie was one big chase scene. It is difficult to find a part where there was not a chase scene. Maybe if Bourne walked for 10 seconds that was a new scene. Each camera shot was one or two seconds max. It was MTV style direction. Total headache inducing cinematography. There was virtually no plot at all. I was bored. This is a good movie to go see at a drive in because you can talk throughout the whole second half of the movie and not miss a thing. This got a 8.4 on IMDb??? I was scanning the movie theaters yesterday and no less than six (6) movies were granted with a 8 rating or higher...in one theater alone. For perspective, a 7.9 was the #250 top movie of all time. Give me a break. People are getting way generous with these 8s these days. Talk about grade inflation. If you liked "Independence Day" or "Armegeddon" and "films" of that ilk, then perhaps you will like this. If you have a brain, do not go see this movie.
