spherojon,

I was going to see it tonight, but held off to see how others on here reviewed it, especially after I read this today: http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/artic...12/story.jhtml

Kurt Loder of MTV is usually a relatively liberal reviewer, so when he said this I had to wonder:

"It's also a little odd that the most vicious character in the movie is a U.S. Special Forces officer named Briggs...while the fugitive Al Rawi (Igal Naor), the man who holds the key to the WMD puzzle, is considerably more sympathetic..."

Kurt also talks about the shaky cam thing:

"And Greengrass [the director], who forged a powerful action style out of hand-held camera work in the second and third "Bourne" movies, here goes totally over to the shaky-cam side. There's not one stable shot in the whole movie — even a scene with two guys talking at a table is filmed as if there were a riot going on."

Did that shaky-cam thing bother you??
