It’s been said that the revitalization of the Bond series with Casino Royale came as a direct result of Bourne’s popularity- if so, thanks, Bourne. But surely that means this series has to step up it’s game in order to compete, and there’s not much evidence of this here. It’s enjoyable enough, and there’s a fist fight half way through which is definitely one of the best I’ve ever seen, but overall it just feels rather thin and repetitive- he goes to a European city, meets up with someone, that person dies, some bad guys attack, Bourne kills them and escapes, rinse and repeat. And great as it was to see Paddy Considine playing, of all things, a Guardian journalist, it would have been nice if he could have lasted more than ten minutes.
