...major touchstone is Paul Greengrass's Bourne Ultimatum, surely the most influential action film of the decade. Quantum appropriates Bourne's tilt-a-whirl camera and ADD editing, not to mention the vigorous skirmishes on roofs, in cars and hotel rooms. But the big similarity is in the two films' heroes.

The shifts are complemented by scenes of paranoid soldiers, riots, and camera crews capturing the play’s most violent moments. The tone is surprisingly light considering the crimes that the dictators are being charged with: genocide and the destruction of the nation’s economy.
