- A master of smash-mash montage and choreographed chaos, Greengrass is the best action director working today, adroit at producing the sense of everyone converging and everything happening simultaneously.

  Just watch it!
  
  Damon at his best. Great action, plot, photography, all round!
  
  Plus it all makes sense, makes you question Iraq and the whole lot.

  Some reviewers have suggested ignoring the politics and just enjoy the film for what it is. It is a very good film. The action when it gets going is relentless ... read more »

- Bourne goes epic. A wham-bam actioner, but its pointed political subtext ensures Damon and Greengrass deliver their most provocative mission yet.
