Kept my attention

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2004)

I saw this movie early on the first day, and it kept my attention throughout. There are a couple of minor flaws in the movie, but that's negotiable through the twists and turns of this spy movie/psychological thriller. The one time I almost left to go to the bathroom, the credits started to roll. Now that I know what I missed by not seeing the first one, the reason being is because Matt Damon didn't match who I felt was a good choice for Jason Bourne, so I have some catching up to do. The direction was odd in the sense that I felt it needed more in the way of pans and cuts, not bumpy handhelds and short cuts of steadycams. It takes when you think you know about Jason Bourne, answers a few questions, provides some more, and leaves room for the next one. I recommend this as a good date film.
