Trivia:

In the Tangier chase scene Nicky and Desh are seen pushing past the citizens. These are not extras; Tangier was too crowded and the flow of the people was hard to control, hence the two actors are genuinely pushing through the crowd.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Bourne goes into the training facility, it is light outside. He is told he has 3 minutes before security arrives. After he is done in the facility and jumps into the river, it is night (not even dusk).

Quotes:

[first lines]
Russian dispatch officer: Suspect from tunnel auto chase, heading east from Kievsky Train Station.

May be the best action movie I've ever seen

This is the first 10 out of 10 that I've given any movie. What made this movie so good for me? Constant action - there isn't any slow parts, great acting, smart writing. I also liked the filming style where the shakiness and different angles just made it feel like you are a part of the scene. Finally, I get to see an action movie that doesn't try to please all sectors of the public (i.e. there's no forced romance).

I liked the first two Bourne movies, but I loved this one.

Warning - after watching this movie, you will be full of adrenaline and you may want to calm down a bit before driving your car!
