I really enjoyed this movie... although I did get 2 characters confused with each other . It's one of those movies you have to see more than once to pick up all the small details. Angelina played a beautiful young girl who set her eyes on Matt Damon, and got him to marry her, and who wanted nothing more than for him to stop playing all his spy games. And she does age in the film to an elderly age, and she portrays the frailty and wisdom that comes with that so beautifully. Anyone else see it? What did you think?

I saw it a couple of months ago on the dvd.. I liked it even though a meek and obedient housewife Angelina surprised me a little bit but when I come to think of it, I appreciate her trying. I enjoyed it also because I appreciate the intrigue within intrigue amongst the best protected American intelligence.. It was very sad at times and I was saddened by the way that old service man being quietened.. Which two characters did you confuse, dvbalove?
