Creativity Blackout

Rating: 6/10 (3 November 2007)

When I saw what people were actually playing in this movie, my hopes were high. The acting indeed was splendid. The story was also quite well. Matt Damon is working for the bad guys and is undercover with the good guys, while Leonardo Di Caprio is working for the good guys and undercover with the bad guys. They both try to look for the moles - each other.
So, after a very exciting movie, they both almost unmask each other a few times. And when eventually both the bad guys and the good guys die, the question remains what both people will do with their lives. Who will get punished and who will live happily ever after? And that's the moment where the authors of the script got a major creativity blackout. Unable to think of anything fun, they just decided to something that happens way too often in movies lately. They just let everyone die. Suddenly all the persons start shooting people in their head, as if it's the most normal thing in the world. Within 5 persons everyone with any role is dead and the movie has ended.... Some ending. That cost this movie at least 2 stars in its rating.
So my advice: If you're looking for a thrilling movie with good acting, you definitely need to watch this one, but don't expect too much of the ending.
