Mini-Review: Mighty Mouse. Making the world safe for vermin since 1942,

Mini-Review: Critics complained that it wasn't enough like a spy thriller, that Matt Damon is too opaque, and that the film has too many ideas. They're wrong all counts. It isn't meant to be a spy thriller, but a recontruction of how the modern spy game came to be, and why its genesis sowed the seeds of its own demise. Superficial thrills are replaced by a complex web of motives; this is a psychological history of an organization, seen through the eyes of a man who came to represent its essential qualities.
