mal karma

Overall and excellent film. Bourne and the rest of the Treadstone program are arguably the deadliest men alive (those who survived at least). Smart and dangerous. In my opinion this is what modern spy thrillers should look like, how do men without an enemy act? soldiers need an enemy, and if there isn't one, they create it. Tension moves along with the story. But then something goes wrong.

On a more technical side, the dialog could have been better, but it is both the (tacital) narration and the acting what carries the plot of the movie. Of course, the characters ain't poets and philosophers, they are CIA agents, trained assassins, and a German bohemian lady. Then we have the great action and chase scenes. Plus, one thing that never ceases to amaze me, perhaps the only series of movies filmed almost entirely on-location, a remarkable feature.

I have the same opinion for Supremacy, and can't wait for Ultimatum.

Since Homicide left the screen, there hasn't been a good police drama (except for Third Watch). But this show fills in the void.

Although the CGI explanations given to the viewer to acompany the actors often tends to be too graphic abd sometimes even morbid, it is gret to have that feeling that finally you are learning something from the TV (since there is no more X Files) and are not watching the Discovery Channel. The cast is very good...looking. But I have no complaint about their performances. But their characters are something odd. In Law & Order (both original and Criminal Intent, haven't seen SVU) there is absolutely no character development, it is only case after case after case; in H:LOTS the character development often filled half or even two thirds of an episode. Here you have case after case, with the difference that the characters are much more likable than L&O, and often print their own personality in the episode. But as some reviwers said, it is very odd how they do both forensics and detective work. Finally, and although I don't know where it is filmed, Las Vegas is a good relief to the usual NY or LA locations.

Hope it will some time in the future take the lead as the most popular TV show and kill for ever The West Wing's popularity
