BEFORE: It looks like Jason Bourne's past as a programmed killing machine is about to come back and haunt him. I had a feeling that it might...
THE PLOT: When Jason Bourne is framed for a botched CIA operation he is forced to take up his former life as a trained assassin to survive.
AFTER: When an attempt is made on Bourne's life, he naturally assumes that the agency he used to work for (though he only remembers bits and pieces) is behind it, even though his division was eliminated years ago. At the same time, he's framed to look responsible for a bombing (?) in Berlin, and the whole thing has ties to his first mission, which also took place in Berlin.
Meanwhile, there's some Russian deal going down that's very confusing, and this leads to a car chase through Moscow that was even more confusing. Jeez, last night's film made more sense, even when you factor in the amnesia.
The pieces didn't completely come together for me with this one - and the franchise started out with such promise...
Also starring Franka Potente, Brian Cox, Julia Stiles, Chris Cooper (all carrying over from last night's film), plus Joan Allen (last seen in "Tucker: The Man and His Dream") and Michelle Monaghan (last seen in "The Heartbreak Kid")
RATING: 6 out of 10 classified files
