I know it's supposed to increase the sense of action and put the viewer right in the middle of the scene but all it really did was nauseate me and I finally walked out before the film was over. I'll wait till I can see it from a distance on a small TV screen because I had no desire to barf in the theater. It's a real shame too, I love the plot, the action, Matt Damon's acting, it's an excellent film and story in all ways EXCEPT for the camera. It made the film look cheap, shoddy and added NOTHING to many, many scenes, but rather detracted so badly that I literally could not watch it.

It runied both movies for us.We heard the shaky cam refered to as the Crack cam you have to be a crack head to keep up. They should have stayed with Doug Liman I my wife and friends all agree with your comments about the shaky cam.
