Utterly overrated

Rating: 6/10 (12 April 2007)

This is a fine movie, but nothing more. Reasonably well-told story, using time shifts as a interesting (though hardly original) narrative technique.
But it's boring, and doesn't have any artistic merit to make the boringness worth sitting through.
Matt Damon, as usual, just plain sucks. You can say that his character in this movie is emotionless, and that explains why Damon displays no emotions of any kind. But then, how do you explain all his other movies? The guy makes Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson look like they have a wide range of expression. Christ, Bill *Murray* has more acting talent than this guy.
Angelina Jolie, likewise, delivers a third-rate performance. To give her credit, her character and her character's behavior make no sense. Did the best she could, I think.
Yawn.
