After all the hype, is it worth the wait or not?? Here’s a quick review:

Picking up more or less immediately after 2004’s The Bourne Supremacy, the continent-hopping story finds amnesiac man of action Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) continuing to stomp his way down Recovered Memory Lane, this time squaring off against evil Black Ops section chief David Strathairn. Narratively speaking, this is by far the least twisty of the series, which isn’t a bad thing at all, as it allows the filmmakers to devote their attention to generating sheer kinetic force. Returning director Paul Greengrass has scaled back a bit on the blinding editing pace of Supremacy (you can now actually sort of subliminally tell who’s punching whom) while somehow jacking up its nervy, handheld immediacy. Even during its rare moments of downtime, the picture thrums with an unbelievable amount of energy.
