A Successful Sequel That Isn't Great But Better Than The First *** out of ****

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2004)

The sequel to The Bourne Identity this well done film beats the first but neither film is my idea of a Masterpiece action film. Matt Damon, Franka Potente, and Julia Stiles star in this film and their performances are all strong especially Julia Stiles' for the little time she has. The story is smarter than the first and it has better twists. The only real problem it has is the plot drags in the middle and the shaky and choppy editing is a little overwhelming in moments (sometimes it's hard to tell what is going on). It's a good movie but its not really my type of movie but many, many people would love it. One thing I really love is how real everything feels that your watching even though a lot of it isn't humanly possible. This a good film so go see it especially those who liked the first one.
