If you like action flicks, and if you've seen the previous Bourne movies, this is a "don't miss" show. The action is non-stop, and there's something about Damon's portrayal of the Bourne character that is totally involving. It's hard not to identify with the main character. At several points in the movie there were verbal exclamations from the audience and spotty applause--a sure sign that the involvement was complete. My only complaint with this movie was the filming of the action sequences. Some idiot (the director?) thought the excitement would be increased by stimulating nausea in the audience with jerky camera movement. At many times it feels like the scenes are being filmed by a raw amateur (me for example). The camera work sometimes makes Youtube camera work look expert by comparison. Still... it's worth seeing and is one of the best movies of the year.

We watched this movie on a quiet night when most of the city's people were probably watching a very exciting NHL playoff hockey game. The hockey game definitely had more to offer than "Just My Luck." On the other hand, the movie was not the failure that many reviewers claim. Some of the actors do not deliver great performances, and the story line is not very believable. But if you go to a movie with like this with lofty goals in mind, you're sure to be disappointed. "Just My Luck" is light and fluffy and there's not a serious reflection contained in it. If it pains you to spend $10 on fluff, then wait for the DVD release. If you need something mildly amusing on a quiet night, the movie is okay.
