Rating: 1/10 (3 January 2007)

I'm glad I saw this movie. For the unsuspecting and easily influenced youth Damon's character is glamorous, living life in the adventurous field of counterintelligence. But I'd imagine that not a couple movie goers left with knots in their stomach. Hollywood failed its audience by forcing on us a very ugly cinematic theme; while focusing on his heroism, we are seeded images of Damon as a racist and adulterer. The unsuspecting youth embrace this image, while the rest of the audience, naturally turned off, watch in disgust as our youth embrace this ugly character. On this point we are twice betrayed, and virtually nobody picks up on it. A greater evil was at hand in the production of this film, against the viewing audience, and the population at large. De Niro may have originally made a fully developed character here. But what I know in my gut is that cuts were made and an ill-intended message delivered, unnecessary for the 2.5 hours available.
