Wait for it on video

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2007)

While I found it very interesting it does drag on several times during the film. At over two and a half hours long it is better seen at home when you can hit the pause button and stretch. There are some very dramatic performances and a very interesting story but I found myself yawning several times. You need to pay close attention to details as the story goes from past to present and back and forth. There are some subtle things that you must watch for and that is all I will say about that. Matt Damon gives a very believable performance and Angelina Jolie is excellent as well at a role very subdued from previous roles. The lack of excitement (and blood) was a disappointment for most in the theater that saw it at the same time as I did. If you are looking for assassinations and killings there isn't a lot of this. I liked it but not at the cost of a cinema ticket and snacks.
