...This film was OK but not brilliant. Im not saying I didnt enjoy it because I did but it was pretty predictable. The storyline - Lucy (Drew Barrymore) does the same thing every single day because she has amnesia due to being involved in a car accident. Henry (Adam Sandler) lives a boy's dream life. He lives on the island of Hawaii and he is a vet. He has his pick of women who are there on holiday and he certainly is not looking to settle down, until he meets Lucy. Henry doesnt know that Lucy has amnesia so everyday she forgets who he is and he has to try and win her over because he "loves her"....the film is about his journey to help Lucy remember what happened to her....

Advantages: Nice settings, best action Disadvantages: Except Matt Damon, avarage additional performance
...English has James Bond. Do not worry, man, the United States has Jason Bourne. Like in Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy, in Bourne Ultimatum Matt Damon plays very well as a former CIA though undercover agent that was borned and trained by CIA's Tread Stone Program. In this third and it could be the last sequel of Bourne chronicles based on the novels wrote by Robert Ludlum, the amnesia-man Jason Bourne is now hunted by the people who made him what he is. He is chased by a new generation of highly-trained killers. Did he finally uncovers the truth he has been trying to find since the first sequel? Well, let's find together.... Of course, we can't say Bourne Ultimatum (and the two previous sequels) is the best acting of Matt Damon. I think, the best acting of Matt Damon ever was The Talented Mr. Ripley....

...Whoa!! What an amazing story. This is easily recognised as a David Lynch production. Death, conspiracy, amnesia, great characters, weird characters (does he know these people?),lesbian love scenes and enough "Did Ya see it" type clues to keep every wanabee supersleuth in seventh heaven.
Where does coincidence stop and design start. Best watched in small groups to reduce the "why - who - when and whaaat" response.
If you enjoyed Erasurehead and Twin Peaks then you will absolutely love this film - in fact this almost takes Mr Lynch into the mainstream of cinema - though he still brings his own dark and twisted brilliance to the party.
Do not hope to explain this film to a friend - just buy them the dvd!...
