humdrum

Rating: 6/10 (24 December 2007)

I cannot understand why this average action film (and bellow average, if you consider film making in general) got such high marks! It's true I'm not an action films fan, but take this: Ronin is noted 7.1 and Nikita 7.5, only to take 2 masterpieces of the genre! I found it duller than the others of the series. The continuous chase and short cuts editing are the only techniques used at such an extent and so repetitive that I got bored from minute 2. Matt Damon is a fine and intelligent actor (see leading role in "Good Will Hunting", when he won also an Oscar for screenplay), but he had no chance of showing it in this movie.
