Not going to go on and on - there was much here to admire technically on the filmmaking side, but little on the storytelling side. The characters never change - so the story never deepens or expands and the characters never really come alive fully. And Jodie Foster is a favorite, but this was not a good role for her and ultimately an incredibly stilted and unconvincing performance. I would love to have seen Tilda Swinton or Kate Blanchett. Matt Damon is just so weary throughout that it's hard to root for him - I only really cared, somewhat, for the character Frey and the little girl. It is visually stunning and looks even better when the "shakey-cam" (which is getting really old) settles down. Great idea and I'm glad I saw it, but it just left me pretty unsatisfied.
