A very tense movie with unbelievable sightseeing and great acting

Rating: 8/10 (19 August 2012)

I can't understand how there can be negative reviews to this movie, with people claiming there is no plot...I don't know what else can you expect from a movie in this genre: it has good acting (luckily everybody agrees with this statement), a very tense action, a plot that makes sense and has no holes in it, spectacular views, unbelievable cinematography and a motorcycle chase that will become the benchmark for motorcycle chases in any future movie. A number of scenes resemble scenes from other movies in the series. This includes the hiring of an agency killer to kill Cross, similar to the scene in Tangier in Ultimatum, and the chase on rooftops also reminded me of a similar scene in Ultimatum...The movie is 135 minutes long, and even though the end comes suddenly the ending makes sense for a future sequel. It ends suddenly, but so does The Bourne Identity with Marie going to a Greek island. My only problem with this movie is that it does not have anything in common with the book by the same title written for the Ludlum franchise by Eric van Lustbader.
