Loved it, but have questions

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2006)

Great movie, Matt Damon turned in a great performance as a hardcore G-Man, and John Tuturro turned in what I think was an Oscar-worthy performance, awesome. But, there were a couple scenes I couldn't make a connection to. Like, what was with the scene with Edward Wilson visiting Joe Pesci's character? What connection to anyone else or other events did Joe Pesci's character have? Also, was that William Hurt's character in that film clip Edward thought he saw, or was that that scientist? I thought it was interesting to see how the relationship developed between the Russians and Edward, but if 'Ulysses' was ultimately such a threat, why didn't they take care of him in the first place? Anyway, overall good fun and intrigue.
