Clint Eastwood directed, Peter Morgan wrote, Matt Damon starring - I had high hopes for this film and in the most part I enjoyed it. However -
I read somewhere that the screen writer had taken the outline of the film, got it agreed and then thought he would go off and finish it off and pad it out smooth out the edges - but was told "no it's fine as it is". If this is true I can understand why the film feels a bit jerky in places and some of the characters never seem to get developed. I also wondered where they found the actors who played the twin boys in the London part of the film, I am guessing from their acting ability the local youth group - their acting is so bad in parts it is distracting.
I think the film was good, but it could have been so much better IMHO if they had left out the London part of the story all together and instead developed the France and US portions more. Saying all that I do still recommend people go see it.
