Top notch performance from Matt Damon.

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2005)

If anyone previously had any reason to doubt the acting ability of Damon, this is the perfect film to demonstrate his quality. He is absolutely superb in what is certainly a very demanding role. To achieve the degree of believability which he attains is perhaps his greatest achievement. The action moves at a furious pace but the director still finds time to further develop all the characters from the prequel which is impressive. For me this is a superior film to the Bourne Identity as it is impossible to take your eyes off the screen due to its compelling nature. It is also brilliant the way the story moves effortlessly across Europe and this enhances our understanding of the intelligence world in a thoroughly realistic fashion. This is one of the best thrillers of the last ten years and i would strongly recommend it to any fan of the genre. 9/10
