Irritating to watch but full of action.

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2006)

This was a roller-coaster ride from start to finish, with hand to hand fights, car chase, and almost incessant action. I really felt for poor Bourne, he couldn't escape surveillance. It was really scary to think that wherever one goes you could be monitored, Big Brother is watching! There was hardly any respite from wall to wall action, the technique of hand-held cameras and fast zooming in and out became irritating after a short time, it may have sustained the tenseness but was sore on the eyes. It was good thriller plot and had a dialogue that may have been a bit difficult to follow at times but better than some higher profile movies I could mention. I enjoyed it but suggest you see The Bourne Identity first.
