The body language and personality that Damon invests in Bourne creates an impression of intelligence and depth, however specious these qualities may ultimately be.

A first-rate thriller with grit and intrigue to spare.

For once, a sequel would be welcome.

[Matt] Damon delivers a performance of pure focus, as if all the vulnerability of his human self is taken off-line and replaced by instinct and programming whenever he’s in the line of fire.
