Review
An outstanding sequel to "The Bourne Identity" this movie has a lot of what I like interesting European scenery an involving storyline of a man being pursued throughout the film fun action scenes and very little profanity. Plus some great actors. Man theres a lot to like in this film!
At first I was a bit lost. It helps to know the first movie in which the "hero" is an exCIA agent who having lost his memory doesnt recall who he is and why he is being hunted down by friend and foe alike. There are a few great car chases scenes in here but some of the other action stretches credibility as there is no way "Bourne" could elude his captors as he did several times here...but its fun to watch anyway.
The herkyjerky camera style may put some viewers off but after I adjusted to it I didnt mind. It kind of added to the hectic pace of the story. Matt Damon is very good in the lead and Brian Cox is an effective "bad guy" easy to dislike. Karl Urban a new face also is interesting as the Russian hit man even though he has only a few lines.
The is one of the few films ever to have Moscow as one of the location sites. In fact this Bourne twopart series so far is a like at travelogue. Here in the sequel we see India Italy Germany and Russia.
Wonderful entertainment especially if you are paranoid!
