Damon returns as amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne in this fast-paced
follow-up to 2002's THE BOURNE IDENTITY. Forced out of hiding as the
result of an attempt on his life, Bourne fulfills his earlier promise to
wreak vengeance on his former CIA employers, some of whom may be in league
with murderous Russians. Brian Cox and Joan Allen are both great as
warring agency chiefs convinced Bourne orchestrated the murder of two of
their own in a deal gone bad. Thanks to tense, gritty direction by Paul
Greengrass (BLOODY SUNDAY), the plot stays tight, the characters
believable, and suspense and thrills flow steady. Moody photography
enhances the urban European locations, which--combined with handheld
camerawork and fast editing--keeps the action realistic and CGI-free.
Vividly capturing the fatalist flavor of Robert Ludlum's original novel,
this is "globalism noir" at its finest. Franka Potente and Julia
Stiles are back from the original, and the always dependable Marton Csokas
shows up as one of Bourne's deadly fellow operatives. A rousing car chase
through Moscow may outdo the ones in RONIN and THE FRENCH CONNECTION for
visceral speed and length. As the icing on the cake, John Powell provides
a menacing, ambient percussive score.
