Carries it On

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2008)

It doesn't have quite the mystery and intrigue of the first one, but still does a nice storytelling job. Most of the time I wonder who these guys are who are willing to become cannon fodder for a cause. Are they being paid really well. Have they been brainwashed. Are they out of the terrorist/suicide bomber school. They are there to do harm and for whom. This movie keeps a personal slant on this. Bourne deep down inside doesn't want to kill. But he's been put on this roller coast, given no choice, and is still bewildered by his situation. To quote another film from a long time ago, "Who are these guys?" Here Bourne just wants to live his life. He knows he's in the cross hairs but chooses to back off and try to live a normal life. They just won't let him. Once again, there is very nice acting and some wonderful scenes, chases, narrow escapes, etc. A very good action film with some mystery to it.
