Fast paced and well done

Rating: 5/10 (26 July 2004)

This movie was better than the original, The Bourne Identity, and Matt Damon's character was developed more. Although the plot may be somewhat confusing for some, this action flick proves to be highly entertaining as well as a fast paced ride. The car chase scene was one of the best I have ever seen, next to The Transporter. Brian Cox's character was also brought out more in the story, and he is a fabulous actor who puts a lot of intensity into the film. Although as Jason Bourne has these "visions" of his past life with the CIA, it is never fully clarified in the film, and it leaves you guessing about what is going on in his head. Bourne really does not have a lot of feeling as for the death of others, but he is a trained killer, so you can't expect a lot of reaction out of Bourne's character. Overall the movie is a hit and an excellent sequel based on the incredible novels.
***1/2 out of *****
