A common action movie

Rating: 2/10 (14 January 2007)

The movie "Bourne Identity", building the first part of this movie, set high quality, which the second part cannot match in any means.
This is an action movie, set in worldwide places, well directed and well cast. The problem is the book. The story centers around Jason Bourne, who is hunted by a "super-powerful" government agency for no apparent reason. Also, his personality is broken, he is haunted by bad dreams and flashbacks of his past as an assassin killer for said government agency.
The movie turns, when the hunted transforms into a hunter, finding out who hunts him and going for revenge.
At the midst of the movie, suddenly the story gets re-written towards a direction of "oh, its not about you, actually its about some random thing that you did in the past", namely the assassination that bourne did in Berlin many years ago.
This leads to a hunt-down of some Russian bad guys, inscenated as a 40 minute car chase and fist-fighting action-fest, without any enterntaining value nor well orchestration but pure usage of explosives and stunt-men.
IF you liked Bourne Identity, watch only the first movie, which ends with two characters that lived through a serious story. The second movie ends with a disillusioned Bourne wondering if he should keep on killing, maybe the secret Hollywood writers guild that pays people to write a follow-up script for commercially successful movies.
