Watching this Ludlum results in (how obvious) questions questions questions yearning to be answered... Don't expect a good action movie, I mean, if you want that - go watch (yet-another) Schwarzenegger. This is supposed to be a mystery. That's quite what it is. Leaves a lot of puzzles unsolved at the end and the still and/or step-by-step function of your DVD player won't help you - rather disappoint you.
I've found this movie very entertaining, so did my girlfriend! According to her Matt Damon has "never been sexier"; I mean, who am I to disagree..? I was charmed by the fact that this was shot in Europe. Europe looks prettier than ever - Paris is beautiful, Matt's Dutch is excellent (so is his German), and the car chase through the streets of Paris is an amazing piece of set work!
Chris Cooper is excellent! He deserves (another) Oscar for this work! Always very much American, vulnerable, straight-forward, subtle & natural acting - makes him a reason alone to watch this movie!
Not an artistic masterpiece, just one of those good old fashioned 'European' spy movies. If you're into that, go see it! You won't be disappointed!
