In the old Soviet Union, the director of this film would be shot for "crimes against the people". His trial and subsequent execution would be due to his use of the "shaky camera" technique in The Bourne Supremacy.
Paul Greengrass used the aforementioned technique to increase the intensity of the film, but he overdid it. My wife was seasick through half the movie. I enjoyed it, but it would've been a much better movie if it had been filmed in the usual way. Mr. Greengrass better hope The Commissar doesn't see this movie or it'll be 20 years in the gulag for him.
Go see it... if you don't get seasick easily.
