Do you think performing CPR underwater is logical or incredibly stupid?


Question:
If you guys watch Bourne Supremacy,you'll notice the scene where Bourne perform CPR to the lady trapped in her car underwater.He supposed to pull her out of the vehicle and attempt to revive her on a dry land.Don't tell me a CIA agent can't perform CPR in logical manner.I've ask my friend who is a doctor about this and he told me that underwater CPR is rubbish and there's no way for us to perform CPR on a person underwater where you blow air into the person's mouth while he/she swallowed water into the lungs.Sounds kinda silly huh?I guess Bourne Supremacy is not worth watching when it comes to this particular scene.What do you guys think?

Answers:
CPR under water does not make sense to me. Can't see how it would work, chest compressions maybe, if body is secured to something solid so the compressions would actually work, until patient is out of water but not rescue breaths. Remember, it is a FICTIONAL show, please do not attempt rescue of ANY KIND that you see on a TV show unless you are a trained prefessional!
ya, but its just that much better than a bond flick still...id reallly like to see more of jason borne on the silver screen.
