An Interesting Continuation

Rating: 6/10 (29 September 2016)

This film essentially begins where its predecessor ("The Bourne Identity") left off with former CIA agent "Jason Bourne" (Matt Damon) still suffering from amnesia but managing to hide out in India with his German girlfriend "Marie" (Franka Potente). It's at the same time, however, that a clandestine meeting in Berlin ends in two murders and the immediate suspect for these killings is none other than: Jason Bourne. Not long afterward an attempt is made on Jason Bourne's life which results in tragic consequences all around. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an interesting continuation which had plenty of action and mystery to keeps things enjoyable. Unfortunately, there really wasn't much of anything new or original that hadn't already been addressed in the first movie so apparently to fill in some time the viewer is treated to extended car chase scenes that seem to go on forever. Additionally, the change of location from Berlin to Moscow seemed a bit too abrupt and could have been better handled. At least, that is my opinion. In any case, there was still several good aspects of this movie and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
