What a thrill ride!

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2004)

I also got to see a premiere of the film in Los Angeles the other evening, and my prediction is for a summer blockbuster with some legs. The plot is believable, the performances are first-rate (as Allen and her team attempt to either get the still-on-the-run Damon OR convince him to come in), the tension is non-stop, and the action is nothing short of a white-knuckled thrill ride. The frantic pace of the quick-cut chase sequence is dizzying. (It is similar to the technique used in Greengrass' 2002 docu-drama "Bloody Sunday"). This sequel is at least as good as the original. Watch the original again to recall the story line, complete with its twists and turns, then go and enjoy this new ride, but make sure that you fasten your seat belt! - MB
