The Matt Damon Bourne movies are three of the finest Bond-style action flicks ever made.  Their character development, plot and action sequences are just top notch.

I'm pretty sure that much of the reason I like this song is its connection to the movie. Otherwise, it's a little drab.

This is a pretty good song besides the fact that none of the lines rhyme, and the words sound about as awkward as reading the phone book. I get the idea they banged it out the night before the release date or something.

I pretty much like EVERYTHING about RP except the release dates are "effed" on approx. 20% of the cuts.  I've been petitioning a change for Ziggy Stardust to the correct year of '72, and I can't get it done.
 
I'm going to say this without investigating specifics (i.e. your example): some of the dates are for various post-releases and re-mastered versions. Anything that is not an exact copy of the original (such as a master copy or maybe even a copy of the original vinyl) can be given dates that differ from what we know to be the original release date. Just a thought...

...i've always been suprised that the low-fidelity bedroom production style moby uses has succeeded as well as it has, and that given his success he hasn't bothered to elevate his game, since the financing's clearly there to do so...

This is the signature theme for the superb Jason Bourne series.  Over time, it has grown on me.  OK, it may not be among the all-time great tunes, but does it deserve all this pile-on slashing by you fly-by snipers?  Not even close!

Wikipedia says "Although not a hit when it was released, 'Extreme Ways' has gone on to become one of Moby's most downloaded songs."  Apparently there is a fan base out there who are not commenting on RP...

Like some others here, I have liked some other moby work, but I am very un-impressed by this...sounds like mega-pop movie soundtrack stuff...maybe it even is that...but whatever, it gets my first-ever sucko-barfo rating

Good call. I was just thinking about how I want to see those movies again now that I heard this. Well, maybe not the 2nd, but the others were fantastic!

Not so!  "Identity" was excellent, "Supremacy" defied the Law of Sequels by being even better, and "Ultimatum" was good, but a relative disappointment.

As for this song (which, after all, is what we are supposed to be commenting on, right?) I like it...  always have, always will...  no matter how vicious the critics of the RP Chattering Class want to get!   {#Nyah}

Thank God that just finshed.  I thought he was just going to moan and utter nonsensical drivel forever!  If I ever meet Moby, I will ask what kind of view he gets since his head is so firmly jammed in his rear-end.

Not a bad thing at all. It caught my attention when I saw the film and I had no idea it was Moby until the end of the credits. It's a great choice for the end credits, capturing the character's predicament.

That's sort of a low bar, isn't it? At least as far as I'm concerned that is.

Having said that, I will admit that I like the Bourne movies, and this song is good in that context.
