Too slow. Too long

Rating: 4/10 (13 March 2007)

Too slow. Too long. And, hence too boring. Fell asleep several times during it. Whole movie just seem to ramble on, and I found it hard to follow. Flashbacks were not very well defined, and Matt Damon seemed to not age, which made it doubly hard to follow the plot. Film doesn't really peak at all. Probably an hour too long. What else has De Niro directed. Didn't even know he directed this one. Was it just self indulgence? Or misguided brilliance! The character of Matt Damon is very wooden. Almost went and rented "The Bourne" movies, to see if Matt Damon can actually use his face show emotion. But a consolation is that Anjelina Jolie looks very good with a 1940's hairstyle.
