Ready to See the Third Film!!

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2004)

Much like the first film, the plot was complex enough to hold your attention. Paul Greengrass did an overall excellent job in capturing the sometimes gritty European feel that Doug Limon achieved in his direction of The Bourne Identity. Greengrass widely employed the technique of using a hand-held camera, which is often fantastic; however, it is absolutely distracting during the film's close-up fight sequences. In fact, it's often difficult to see what is actually happening. As such, the viewer may feel somewhat robbed of those lightning quick hand-to-hand combat moves, due to the super shakiness of the camera.
Still, the movie left me wanting more, and I'm anxiously awaiting a third 'Bourne' movie.
