Better than the First!

Rating: 8/10 (29 May 2007)

When a CIA operation to purchase classified Russian documents is blown by a rival agent--who then shows up in the sleepy seaside village where Bourne and Marie have been living under assumed names--the pair collapse their lives and head out. Bourne, who promised retaliation should anyone from his former life attempt contact, is forced to once again take up his life as a trained assassin to survive.
Was this movie confusing? Yes, well, not until I stopped the movie, read the info. I didn't get on the computer and went back on watching it. I think I should do that with confusing movies instead getting confused throughout the movie. So I had less trouble with this film.
I liked this film better than the first. The plot gets more interesting, there are more suspenseful scenes, and better action, including a prolonged car chase sequence and one sweet, quiet moment in the film.
Although I don't know how the character acts in the book, Matt Damon's acting was really well in this film, along with Joan Allen and Brian Cox. I also liked the hand held camera throughout the movie, giving it a suspenseful feel.
Still, although not better than Casino Royale or any Mission Impossible film (well, maybe better than the first), this film is better than the first. It gives you a sense of suspense and emotion.
