    Completely overshadowed by soundtrack – perfect timing for Seattle. Not his best, but plenty of great classic Crowe moments. Acting solid…

    1st was classic spy thriller. 2nd raised bar by mixing in revenge & strong secondary plot. 3rd feels like contractually obligated wrap-up…

    Better in nearly every way, even though they lose the best character from 1st one. Realizes that it matters less who he was than who he is.

    Damon seemed an odd choice, but owns this; depth & intensity. But it’s the scenes with the brilliant Potente that really make this all work.

    140 Character Movie Review – #140RVW

    Unfairly lives in the shadow of Nightmare Before Xmas, which is impossible act to follow. Really great, but the music is simply not as good.
