Worthy sequel with more humanity.

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 2004)

Verdict? How does it compare to the Bourne Identity? BS is a darker film, but certainly has more humanity. One of the most pivotal moments in the film involves a touching scene in which Jason faces up to the ghosts in his past by confronting the daughter of one of his previous 'kills.' He recognises the need to know and understand-that the truth however unpleasant is the only thing that can truly define who we are. The assassinated man's daughter needs to know the truth and Jason needs to tell her. As Jason's fragments of memories continue to filter down through flashback and revealed information, you can see the healing process at work even clearer as he staggers through the necessary sequence of denial, acceptance, and finally responsibility, from which he can only emerge a stronger person.
Immediate impressions as I left the cinema? Plenty of car crashes. Julia Stiles looks beautiful. Russian police cars frankly are RUBBISH! And does Mr Jason Bourne ever get any sleep??
I enjoyed it. 8/10
