Excellent sequel to The Bourne Identity

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2004)

Have you ever been to a movie where the audience spontaneously erupted in applause at the end? This movie certainly deserved it. It is a sequel that does its predecessor proud. I would be very surprised if Matt Damon didn't get an Oscar nomination. This was not just another action movie. It had just the right blend of suspense and action. There was a car chase that rivaled The French Connection. I found myself clutching the armrests in quite a few scenes. A guaranteed most enjoyable experience. The only thing I would suggest is that if you have not yet seen the first movie, The Bourne Identity, do see it first. That will set you up to have all the pieces tied together. I will definitely add both movies to my collection.
