This is the sequel to The Bourne Identity. After
the events of the first film, the Jason Bourne character, still haunted by his
past as a CIA assassin, is trying to fly under the radar and to live a cozy
little life with his girlfriend Marie. While in India, Bourne comes under
attack from a hired gun, in an elaborate plan to set him up, but Marie ends up
taking the bullet. Looking to put the remaining pieces of his puzzled past in
place and to avenge his girl’s death, Bourne will spring back into action, as
the CIA is out looking for him.
After all the setup was done in the first
film, it was so much easier to tell a really effective story in the sequel.
They went right into the action; the pace was fast and it was a thrilling ride.
Paul Greengrass got on board as director in this one, and, to me, that helped
the product. I prefer the way the action scenes were shot in this sequel,
compared to the original; it felt crisper. The flow was better.
As always, Matt Damon was solid. He truly
inhabited the Jason Bourne character; it felt real and honest.
This second installment in the Jason Bourne
franchise offers some great entertainment; a great action thriller well worth
seeing.
