Better than the first

Rating: Null/10 (29 July 2004)

This film was in every way better than the first and I am sure they now have a great franchise on their hands. The action and fight scenes are exceptional. The acting all around is very good, and the plot, although a bit clichÃ©, works. I would definitely recommend it, and I am eagerly awaiting the next one.
Matt Damon does a wonderful job and I can not in all honesty think of any other actor that could play this role.
IMHO however the one thing that lets both movies down is how Matt Damon looks rather than how he acts. He looks like a college kid in both movies. You have a hard time believing in the character. Surely they could do a better job on his wardrobe and make up. He needs to either look more like the steely-eyed killer he is supposed to portray, or they should have played on the college kid look all the way. Instead we have something in between that just doesn't work I suspect as Damon gets older he will naturally fit the character, hence why I hope they will make lots more.
