Meh

Rating: 6/10 (7 April 2007)

Once again not a horrible film, but nothing special. The major complaint I had for the first Bourne movie was not felt here so it did not feel like a rushed book adaptation. The movie was not faster paced, but the story itself felt more contrived and like there was nothing special going on or nothing to set it apart from any other film like that. This movie also lacked Chris Cooper whom I enjoy very much. I did enjoy Joan Allen very much, but there was no real stand out acting. The action was typical, but the scene where he was scaling the wall was well done. I think I enjoyed the scene when he takes Nikki and avoids being followed. I don't know where the next movie is going to go, but in all honesty I barely care. Oh yeah it was also pretty funny when Matt Damon's character cried when his wife died. I do like Karl Urban, but he did not really get a chance to be bad ass. The end where Brian Cox was the insider was not surprising and felt forced. Overall not a good movie, but not horrible. It was find for killing a few hours over spring break.
