The Definition of an "Edge-of-Your-Seat" Movie.

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2012)

I was dubious, when going to see this film, that it would live up to the amazing standards that the rest of the Bourne series had created. But I couldn't have been more mistaken! From the very beginning, it got the audience captivated, and even though some may have said it was a slow start, I would disagree and argue that it built up the tension fantastically. But, when the action did get started, I along with the rest of the whole cinema, really was on the edge of my seat. This film balances the action sequences and the calmer sequences perfectly, not to mention with fantastic acting and off-the-scale believable characters. It didn't take the audience for granted - didn't assume we were all stupid and explain every detail - which, although made it a little harder to follow, really got you thinking and all of your senses like live wires. I think the best part of this film, although there was many, many brilliant factors - were the action sequences. During all of them, my heart was in my mouth it was so tense! Especially in the epic motorcycle scene. I am astounded at how brilliantly they pulled this one off. Yes, the Legacy of the Bourne films lives on. If I could give this a 11/10 I really would - but at the moment we'll just have to settle for the full 10!
