A high tension and fast-energy Bourne sequel!

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 2015)

This is a high tension and fast-energy sequel to the action thriller, The Bourne Identity. Matt Damon returns as amnesia-plagued Jason Bourne, who finds himself running from assassins again after it was alleged he was involved in a CIA operation to purchase classified Russian documents that went awry. Bourne is forced to utilize his trained knowledge and actions skills to survive while attempting to regain his past memories.
The film picks up steam almost immediately where Jason Bourne is still being haunted by his unknown past, followed by the introduction of CIA Deputy Director Pamela Landy, who is leading the investigation into classified Russian documents and the whereabouts of Bourne. What follows is one suspenseful scene after the other, from Jason alluding assassins to him playing hide-and-seek with the CIA. Much intrigue is generated as the secrets of the CIA operation begin to unravel and Jason gaining more steam in unlocking his memory, creating a mind-numbing sense of mystery.
The action scenes, from the fights to the intense car chases, are a finger-biting experience. The acting is well done; Matt Damon continues to be great as Jason Bourne - quick and dramatic, yet serious and witty. I also especially liked the acting performance of Joan Allen; she gave a commanding performance as Pamela Landy, committed to solving the investigation but sympathetic to Jason's dilemma. In addition, the visual and special effects were believable and the music score was riveting.
Overall, this movie is just as great as its prequel; it has its unpredictable elements and edge-of-your-seat excitement.
