Synopsis: When a CIA operation to purchase classified Russian documents is blown by a rival agent--who then shows up in the sleepy seaside village where Bourne (Damon)and Marie (Potente) have been living under assumed names--the pair collapse their lives and head out. Bourne, who promised retaliation should anyone from his former life attempt contact, is forced to once again take up his life as a trained assassin to survive.
Tagline: They should have left him alone.
KMan's Tagline: They should not have let Paul Greengrass direct this film.
Review: Jason Bourne. Amnesiatic killer that, upon learning of his past, wants to forget it but is constantly forced to rely on his trained-killer skills to keep himself alive as his bosses hunt for him, labeling him a 'malfunctioning weapon'.
Great story, great character...
On the whole, I recommend everyone see this film, at least rented on video if you don't feel like spending the 9 bucks or whatever it is in your area. It was a great idea and great character...
...But all can be undone with crappy directing. Seriously, this movie should come with an Epilepsy warning for those afflicted with the disease.
And for those of you afflicted with the disease, to ensure your survival when you see this movie, I've got a little tip for you. Bring the following with you to the theater;
1) A Supply of the narcotic drugs commonly referred to as 'Uppers'
2) A Supply of the narcotic drugs commonly referred to as 'Downers'
3) Five cell phones with vibrate features or a malfunctioning neck massager.
4) Some nachos...
Alright, with this movie, it is a series of extremes. The lulls in between actions are LULLS. (I fell asleep to have Merv poke me and say dude wake up!) And the action is so edgy and actiony that I could barely focus on the events. So here you go. When there is no music, pop a few uppers so that you stay awake and when you hear action music, pop a few downers so you can focus on what the F*** is going on.
To help your brain to focus on the action and get a clear picture of what is happening in fight scene and chase scenes, strap the five phones around your head with duct tape or turn on the malfunctining neck massager after popping the downers and, if you time it right, perhaps the vibrations will help your eyes roll with the camera.
In between all of this, you should be able to eat your nachos.
Seriously folks, Paul needs a tripod for Christmas. His directing style is nothing less than pimple-faced-high-school-project-style where the kid thinks he's being cutting edge by running behind the actor with the camera so the audience thinks they are 'in the action'...
If we wanted to jog Paul, we do it and then sit down to watch a movie asshole...
Anyways, that's about my only beef with the movie, aside from some sub-standard plot holes that weren't really covered. I'm still trying to steady my head from shaking so I won't type them here, but if you really need to know, PM me.
