Review

#62 on the imdb.com top 250? gimme a freaking break. i didn’t find it to be as good as the other two, but it carries the torch well enough. i’ve never been a fan of the way greengrass films the fight sequences. he brings the camera too close to the action and it makes it difficult to really appreciate what’s going on. i think he employs close-ups and quick edits for two reasons – to bring us into the action and to mask the fact that the actors aren’t great fighters or that he doesn’t have a great fight choreographer. a few long shots to enjoy the action would have been appreciated.

Watched in theater
