Anyways, the review:
1. Filmed in Waterloo station and Tangier with real 'extras' who were genuinely surprised. Watch closely, one guy taking a mobile phone picture of Julia Stiles in the Casbah. Yes, when you get shot in Waterloo during rush hour, people don't really panic. This is Britain, they're more concerned about catching delayed train connections.
2. Finally, a car chase with no exploding cars.
3. Desh, the Moroccan assassin, looks familiar. I swear to God, he served me laced mint tea and fixed my bed. I always thought he looked a bit odd as a butler in our Riad. ZOMG! He was casing me!
4. Bourne can write for the Rough Guide (or Lonely Planet, if you are a lousy traveller) travel books: Europe on a shoestring budget - who needs a backpack when I got killer kung fu moves and a Swiss bank account, betch.
Conversation in Eurostar Train b/w Bourne and conductor:
Billet, si'l vous plait...
Take this you Frog eater, whapa! (sleeper karate chop to the carotid). I'm Jason Bourne, betch.
Conversation in the Renfe Train b/w Bourne and conductor:
Un billete, por favor....
Take this you Inca killer, shoosh ha! (pinch to the solar plexus). I'm Jason Bourne, betch.
While on the cab from Waterloo:
Ring..Ring...
"Hellow Meeester Bourne, I'm a cowstumer service rep for Smart Globe, seeer. We nowtice that you been yuuusing roaming service a lot. We'd like to knowww if youwre interested in upgrading to Smart Globe plus monthly planmowbile serviccce. Eeet's better than prepaid..."
A fist materialises from the headpiece and slaps annoying sales rep to pulp.
Take this you evil Mobile Phone provider. I'm Jason Bourne, betch.
Low film point:
Hello? There's always time for sex in a spy movie! Drop the pants Bourne and shag Julia silly. She's so gagging for it!
And some smugness from The Guardian
