Don't remember when I've been more delighted with a sequel… probably have to go back to G2 30 years ago… then I was with The Bourne Supremacy.
It is non-stop action all the way… a breath-taking pace set by the relatively new Paul Greengrass taking over from another relative newbie, Doug Liman.
There's some annoying "NYPD Blue-esque" camera-movements, but I cannot fault the finished product which simply rocks from the opening reel in Goa, India, to the edge-of-your-seat finale in Moscow, Russia.
Matt Damon continues to surprise as ubër-spook "Jason Bourne." Boy is not only buff, but exhibits some excellent moves as well.
At least five members of the The Bourne Identity cast return to reprise their roles, so there's a good continuity at work, very important for this particular narrative since a key perception established during the earlier film is impeached in the current one… actually one of the easier "twists" to spot.
For this and the predecessor flick, I forgive Damon his friendship with that unbearable putzola Ben Affleck. Can't wait for the third one in the series!
