I weren't bourne yesterday...

Rating: 6/10 (10 September 2007)

It's an oft-used cliché in the hyperbole that comes with summer blockbusters (of the Hollywood Variety variety): the one about how this one's a "rollercoaster ride." Well, they were right to label this one so. The camera never stops moving. Literally. I actually got motion sickness watching this movie. (I'd heard someone say the same thing about THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, but, as I hadn't experienced nausea at either screening I'd attended, I didn't know what to make of the comment. Now I do.) Stepping out into the light of day, I actually felt like I might toss me cookies. That was no reflection on the story (which was moving too fast for me to spot any gaping plot holes) or the acting (which I'm pretty sure there was some, although briefly) or the all-out, non-stop, in-your-face action (of which there was aplenty, much of it shot in close-ups so close that it was hard to tell exactly what was happening- but it was fast, and it was loud, lemme tell you). Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours (and a potload of pesos)...
